Question

Is there a simple way to implement databinding when neither of both classes is of type Control?

In my case, I would like to bind a variable to a property of a custom ToolStripButton.

EDIT for clarification: when binding to a Control, I can use Control’s DataBindings collection. However, I am searching for a way to bind properties regardless of the source and target Type.

EDIT: using winforms

You can probably do this by using Truss.

Truss provides WPF-style databinding for any class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged. It gives you a bit more flexibility in this, since it doesn’t restrict the classes to being derived from a specific base class.
