Question

For example if I have a Name object

public class Name
{
    public string First { get; set; }
    public string Middle { get; set; }
    public string Last { get; set; }
}

and I have a form with 3 textboxes on it, named txtFirstName, txtMiddleName, txtLastName

I want some way to automatically bind the domain object to these text boxes.

I’m very used to working with asp.net-mvc but I’m trying to transfer this knowledge to winforms 0_0

Answer 1

You want a “Data Source”, specifically an “object data source”.

This will get you started, from the “Data” menu, select “Add New Data Source…” You want to select “Object”.
