I'm using DevForce Express and DevExpress XtraEditors. Will I be able to use these controls with ControlBindingManager if I just write DataBinders for them?
 
I tried to find it out and I wrote a custom DataBinder for DevExpress TextEdit control, I added ControlBinderMap.Instance.UpdateMap(...) statement to my Form constructor, but there were no changes in Designer dropdown list of ControlBindingManager... :(
 
Here is code of my custom DataBinder:
 
public class TextEditDataBinder : ControlDataBinder {

     public TextEditDataBinder() : base() { }

     public override Type ControlType {

          get { return typeof(TextEdit); }

     }

     public override string BindingPropertyName {

          get { return "EditValue"; }

     }

     protected override double GetBaseFitness(IDataConverter pConverter) {

          return UIFitness.None;

     }

}

The post discusses what you need to do to get the control to show up in the dropdownlist of the ControlBinding Manager.  Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem.
