Hi Guys,


I am trying to solve a problem involving user-configurable "fields" on an
object.   Typically, these fields are configured by each client, and it is
quite easy to access them programmatically - a quick example would be:



Employee emp = new Employee();

emp.ExtendedFields["Some Field"].Value = "Hello World";



However this does not fit in very nicely with the front-end code which
generally uses data binding.  So I thought that I'd provide a way for data
binding to work on these objects, but I guess I would have to write my own
data binding classes to allow for this type of binding.  Essentially, I am
looking for a way to inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Binding and override
whatever needs to be overridden to make this work.



I am not getting anywhere in this effort though - for starters, I cannot get
a class that inherits from Binding to compile - I get "No overload for
method 'Binding' takes '0' arguments" no matter what I try (it could be
something simple that I am missing).



There are obviously a lot of other ways to handle this as well, I just
thought that this might be elegant.  Has anybody tried something similar, or
am I going about this the wrong way in general?



Regards,


Daniel
