Do you think Phobos could benefit by adding data-binding interfaces? The

In .NET there's a whole set of interfaces for this purpose. They don't
have a
great design but the fact that they are standard makes possible to
create an
object that can be bound everywhere and performs validation everywhere
(everywhere been, windows client, web application or web service).
You can see all interfaces related to data-binding here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/41e17s4b.aspx
But the more used are these three:
INotifyPropertyChanged
Provides an event to notify listeners that a property has changed.
IDataErrorInfo
Provides methods that allow validating and display corresponding GUI
elements
to the user.
IBindingList
Provides notification when a collection has changed (elements
added/removed,
clear, update, ...)
Thanks
I like the idea..
IMHO this could be done by porting and enhancing the Mono code, use
Stevens dcollection lib, enhance dCollection with observable containers
and you are nearly done. Due to the Mono license a phobos independent
project is appropriate.
my 2 cents, bjoern
Why do we need to port the Mono code? This seems quite easy to implement.
