Cannot data bind to a control when Control.Visible == false

Question

In WinForms with C# 4.0 / C# 2.0, I cannot bind to a control if the control\'s visible field is false:

this.checkBox_WorkDone.DataBindings.Add(\"Visible\", W         


        

Answer 1

What you could do is make the control visible, and make it invisible again once the binding has changed.

this.checkBox_WorkDone.Visible = true; 
this.checkBox_WorkDone.BindingContextChanged += (object sender, EventArgs e) => {
    this.checkBox_WorkDone.Visible = false; 
};

Not very pretty, but it works.
