I Recommend you implement INotifyPropertyChanged and change your databinding code to this   this textBox DataBindings Add  Text                                   this Food                                   Name                                   false                                  DataSourceUpdateMode OnPropertyChanged     That ll fix it   Note that the default DataSourceUpdateMode is OnValidation  so if you don t specify OnPropertyChanged  the model object won t be updated until after your validations have occurred

You need a bindingsource object to act as an intermediary and assist in the binding  Then instead of updating the user interface  update the underlining model   var model    Fruit  bindingSource1 DataSource   model FruitType    oranges    bindingSource ResetBindings      Read up on BindingSource and simple data binding for Windows Forms
