Hi Beth,

Great videos!  I was wondering if there was an easy way to implement filtering in a collection instead of searching, similar to using a dataview with a dataset.  I think that would make a great addition to this series.

... or is this what LINQ is all about?

# Beth Massi said on July 10, 2007 7:52 PM:

Hi Mike,

Adding filtering support to your business object collections is totally doable, just a bit more involved. I'll add your request to the list of videos for object binding.

And yes, LINQ would make it very easy to to this as well. :-)

Cheers,

I really find your videos and code helpful.  I've been trying to get my arms around object binding with typed datasets for awhile now.  You instructional materials REALLY helps.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks a million!

Beth,

I think I may have found a bug in your SimpleSortComparer class.  It seems that when it compares 2 null strings, it throws an error.  I changed my logic to replace null string with empty strings, and it works correctly.  I am working to debug now, but I thought you would like to know.

Thanks for the examples!

Hi Mohamed,

You can see how easy it is to bind to an image column in the article I wrote here (sample included): http://blogs.msdn.com/bethmassi/archive/2007/08/28/rezising-images-stored-in-sql-server.aspx

Hi Beth,

You've been helpful to me in more ways than you can imagine. I have acquired a lot from your videos than from 000's of MSDN pages. But I can't find this object binding videos. I've downloaded the code but all the links the the videos are sorry for 1 reason or the other.

# Beth Massi said on November 11, 2008 12:26 PM:

Hi Nsenor,

Sorry about the broken link. I fixed it, here is the correct location of the videos:
