[dba-VB] SCRUM/WPF Data Binding

Hi All,

I planned here is the first sample of WPF data bidining:

http://shamils-4.hosting.parking.ru/xaml/WpfBrowserApplication2.xbap

As you can find it promise to be rather time consuming to implement binding to ADO.NET datasets, which isn't supported natively in .NET 3.5. The following sample just implements bindind to an object instance.

Robert, you have experience with VS2010 - does it have advanced data binding controls as e.g. WinForms' BidingSource and BindingNavigator?

Thank you.
