Yes, it is possible to bind to a list created from Linq-To-Xml. I tried to reproduce your problem. I did the following:
- Created an empty WindForm project (VS 2008 and .Net 3.5)
- Added a DataGridView to the Form.
- Wired the CellBeginEdit and CellEndEdit.
- Placed the following code in the Form's constructor
string testXML =
@"<p><entry>
<author>TestAuthor1</author>
<msg>TestMsg1</msg>
</entry></p>
";
XElement xmlDoc = XElement.Parse(testXML);
var query = from entry in xmlDoc.Descendants("entry")
select new MergeEntry
{
author = entry.Element("author").Value,
message = entry.Element("msg").Value,
}; //You were missing the ";" in your post, I am assuming that was a typo.
//I first binded to a List, that worked fine. I then changed it to use a BindingList
//to support two-way binding.
var queryAsList = new BindingList<MergeEntry>(query.ToList());
bindingSource1.DataSource = queryAsList;
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
When running the WinForm app, an editable grid was displayed and the CellBeginEdit and CellEndEdit events were fired when they should have been. Hopefully trying to reproduce using the above steps will help you locate the issue you are facing.
