Hi,
I need to read this article again. From what I understand, you are demonstrating how to bind to custom objects. Why didn't you use a List<Company>
where Company is
public class Company {
public string Name {...}
public string Address {...}
public string City {...}
public string State{...}
public string Zip{...}
}

and just bind to that list? Did you do it this way to demonstrate how PropertyDescriptors work?

Thanks.

My previous comment did not make it through.

Why did you not simply use a List<Company> to bind to?

Thanks.

Thanks for the comments Ron, yea I got this question from a few different people. I just posted an article explaining how to use the "default property descriptors" so you don't need to write all your own code. You're correct, my article explains how property descriptors work internally, but the example was probably oversimplified and there's easier ways to do that. Thanks!

Creating large flat classes for data binding is one way of doing things. But you should check out this...

Great one.

I'm working on a similar functionality. But I have included textboxes in the GridView(ItemTemplates). Need to provide an update option to it. Please help me how to do a Reverse DataBinding. I hope I'm clear on this.

Many Thanks,

Vinay
