Uche Ogbuji wrote a good article on XML.com here is a summary: "I’m still getting my Weblogger profile here updated, but this year I transitioned from one company I co-founded to another. Zepheira provides data architecture solutions, with a focus on semantic technology. I was early on the Semantic Web bandwagon, and I almost fell off at one point because I felt the useful, modest ideas at the core had been overrun by an academic brand of technological megalomania. This year I felt the timing was right to not only renew my interest in the technology,
This article gives an overview of data binding in the .NET framework. Microsoft has beefed up the data binding features considerably in .NET which has made data binding a compelling option to tie your front-end to data sources. I have concentrated on .NET windows forms data binding.
What is DataBinding?
DataBinding is a powerful feature provided by the .NET framework that enables visual elements in a client to connect to a datasource such as DataSets, DataViews, Arrays etc. Some of the visual elements in the client can be TextBox, Datagrid etc. A
Every once in a while I need to bind an enumerated type to a Windows Forms control, usually a ComboBox. There are lots of articles here on The CodeProject that present various ways to do this, each with their own pros and cons. However, they are generally more complicated than necessary, and in some cases, require a lot of work on either the developer implementing the enum, the developer using it, or both.
The Simple Way
The simplest is to use the Enum.GetValues() method, setting its result to the DataSource property of the ComboBox. If you have the
DataBinding is core to XPComponents, all components directly support data binding, no classes to include, nothing to enable, its all there built in from the ground up.
The XP Components provide a powerful feature rich DataBinding architecture
Data binding in its traditional sense means associating some underlying data with one or more user interface elements. The data provides the information to display. The user interface elements render the information in the appropriate format.
The XP Data Architecture extends the traditional idea of data
Regardless of what element you are binding and the nature of your data source, each binding always follows the model illustrated by the following figure:
Basic data binding diagram
As illustrated by the above figure, data binding is essentially the bridge between your binding target and your binding source. The figure demonstrates the following fundamental WPF data binding concepts:
Typically, each binding has these four components: a binding target object, a target property, a binding source, and a path to the value in the binding source to
XML processing has become a common task that many C++ application developers have to deal with. Using low-level XML access APIs such as DOM and SAX is tedious and error-prone, especially for large XML vocabularies. XML Data Binding is a new alternative which automates much of the task by presenting the information stored in XML as a statically-typed, vocabulary-specific object model. This article introduces XML Data Binding and shows how it can simplify XML processing in C++.
Introduction
A typical C++ application that has to manipulate the data
Data bindings are simply links between a UI component and some data. The data binding implements everything that is needed to retrieve the data from a data source and update the UI component, plus all that is needed to store any input made in the UI component by the user. The data bindings work in an orchestrated way so that what is displayed to the user is consistent with what is in the datastore.

Carousel applications use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to separate the key concerns in building an application. A key
