XmlDataDocument attribute updates via DataSet binding - 17 April 2007

I am attempting to do something which is exceptionally simple, but also apparently exceptionally undocumented; I am trying to write a Windows Forms application using an XmlDataDocument to manage a simple xml document, with most of the user interface data-bound to the XmlDataDocument's DataSet.

I have had reasonable success up to this point, considering a complete absence of documentation for any use of XmlDataDocument other than the extraction of data from a preexisting DataSet. I have now come up against a very frustrating behavior though.

Simply put, I am trying to detect when the value of an XML element's attribute is changed by the user interface (by a DataGridView via an attribute-mapped column, specifically). I have registered for every XmlDataDocument event, and traced extensively. What I find is that the only event that is reported is the insertion of a text node into an attribute node that has no parent. There is never a subsequent event for the insertion of this attribute node into any element node, nor for the removal of any existing attribute node.

Is this an XmlDataDocument bug, or a "feature" that I'm missing?

Or am I approaching things in a fundamentally wrong way? I could, for example, watch the DataSet for events, but this 'simple' modification, in this case, generates about 200+ DataSet events for a relatively small document (due to a relation for which the attribute I'm watching is the parent key), none of which seems to be a simple representation of the change I want to detect.

Thanks in advance,

James Cook

Have you tried using DataGridView’s CellEndEdit to capture the event and manipulate you Document?

One event function can handle all rows and all fields
