dotnet windows forms databinding: I have used data binding in .Net 2.0 and love it, from what I
understand what I used in 2.0 was new. Today I am working with .Net
1.1 and wondering how to wire things up correctly...

There is a PropertyGrid that has had it's SelectedObject set to a data
class. From time to time the values of this selected object will
change outside of the PropertyGrid. What needs to be wired in so the

Databinding has existed since the first version of .Net.

PropertyGrid isn't a true databound control in the same sense that
DataGridView is for example.
As a consequence it doesn't use the INotifyPropertyChanged or
<property>Changed events exposed by various objects.

PropertyGrid needs to be refreshed when you make a change to an object
externally. You can subscribe to the INotifyPropertyChanged or
<property>Changed yourself and just refresh the property grid.
