Question

Goal:

Display Encapsulate field from Player

Problem:
Want to display datamember_id, _name and _bust in class mainform only by using bindingList

Was it suppose to use syntax [] above the encapsulate field?

Class MainForm

    dataGridViewPlayers.AutoGenerateColumns=true;
    dataGridViewPlayers.AutoSizeColumnsMode=DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

    bindingSourcePlayers.Clear();

    bindingSourcePlayers.DataSource = _myGameManager.Players;




Class GameManager:

    public BindingList<Player> Players
    {
        get
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < _myPlayerGUI_list.Count; i++)
            {
                _player.Add(new Player(_myPlayerGUI_list[i].Player));
            }
            return _player;
        }

    }

You can use Browsable() attribute to prevent specific properties from being shown in the DataGridView when usin BindingList.

Example: if you want to hide MadeMove:

[Browsable(false)]
public bool MadeMove
{
    get { return _madeMove; }
    set { _madeMove = value; }
}
