Visual Basic bind checkbox check state to application setting at runtime
up vote

I would like to add a checkbox control to a form at runtime. I can accomplish that, but I would also like to bind the "Checked" property to an application setting that is already created.
The code I have so far is below. When I run an exception is raised: "Cannot bind to the property or column Checked on the DataSource"
What am I doing wrong?
Dim CurrentCheckBox As New CheckBox
Dim TableColumn As Integer = 4
Dim TableRow As Integer = 13
CurrentCheckBox.Name = "MyCheckbox"
CurrentCheckBox.Text = ""
CurrentCheckBox.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Bottom Or AnchorStyles.Top
CurrentCheckBox.AutoSize = True
CurrentCheckBox.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Checked",
My.Settings.MyCheckboxIsChecked, "Checked"))
MyTableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(CurrentCheckBox, TableColumn, TableRow)

YourBindingconstructor is redundant. TheAddmethod will accept the same arguments directly. In situations like this, the best option is to do the same thing in the designer, i.e. add aCheckBoxand bind it to s setting, then see what code is generated. You can then use the same pattern, cleaning it up if appropriate.
