C# - Data Source not appearing in binding source properties

400 Views Asked by At

Visual Studio is not adding new binding source (data source).

I added the new data source (a reference to a class I built) to the Designer.cs in the InitializeComponent() section.

Visual Studio recognized the data member but not the data source. Why won't it recognize my data source?

I added the following code to the end of the section:

this.CharterManagerbindingSource.DataSource = typeof(Program16.CharterManager);

I don't receive any errors in my code. It's like it doesn't even realize I entered it.

*** I am trying to add a binding source to a form so I can use the data source to auto populate information within the class it is linked to
