This is a rather special request, I’ll admit. For reasons of my own, I need to find the method(s) called to actually performed data binding in WPF & WinForms.
I have an elegant solution, which is too large to include in this blog post, but I’ll say that it doesn’t involves reflector at all.
Can you figure it out?
Markdown turns plain text formatting into fancy HTML formatting.
*italic* **bold**
_italic_ __bold__
Inline:
An [example](http://url.com/ "Title")
Reference-style labels (titles are optional):
An [example][id]. Then, anywhere
else in the doc, define the link:
[id]: http://example.com/ "Title"
Inline (titles are optional):
Reference-style:
![alt text][id]
[id]: /url/to/img.jpg "Title"
Setext-style:
Header 1
========
Header 2
--------
atx-style (closing #'s are optional):
# Header 1 #
## Header 2 ##
###### Header 6
Ordered, without paragraphs:
1. Foo
2. Bar
Unordered, with paragraphs:
* A list item.
With multiple paragraphs.
* Bar
You can nest them:
* Abacus
* answer
* Bubbles
1. bunk
2. bupkis
* BELITTLER
3. burper
* Cunning
> Email-style angle brackets

> > And, they can be nested.
> #### Headers in blockquotes
>
> * You can quote a list.
> * Etc.
Three or more dashes or asterisks:
---
* * *
- - - -
End a line with two or more spaces:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Code blocks delimited by 3 or more backticks or tildas:
```
This is a preformatted
code block
```
Set the id of headings with {#<id>} at end of heading line:
## My Heading {#myheading}

Throwing an exception and looking at its stack trace?
Dynamics?
Use StackTrace class?
Maybe, using some AOP you can log those methods for further use.
I have discovered a truly marvelous method to find the methods used in databinding, in WPF or Winforms. This margin is too narrow to contain it.
This sounds like "Fermat's Last Theorem" :). Sure hope the outcome will be different.
Use a "debug" converter, which does nothing but return the value passed in, and set a breakpoint in the "Convert" method?
Put breakpoints in the get and set methods of properties that are databound, then look at the stack trace in Visual Studio.
For bonus points, enable .Net Framework source stepping and you can step through the databinding engine.
@Samuel Jack Yep. That's how I do it too.
Dynamic Proxy Interceptor with a Breakpoint in it? ;)
greetings Daniel
Converter.
Trace points and printing of $CALLSTACK?
Subclass Binding?
Two of my three approaches were already mentioned above:
1) Breakpoint in the property getter/setter;
2) Throw an exception in the property getter/setter;
Also, you could use the profiling API, but I don't think that counts as an "elegant solution."
For WinForms, you could probably also attach Format and/or Parse listeners to the Binding, and break/throw inside the appropriate methods. There's no guarantee that the call to Format/Parse is going to be made within the specific call stack that you're hoping to find, though.
