Please, can you tell me what "binding" stands for?
I can only translate to a synonym of link, in french.
Bindings are a feature of a language or framework where you declare a
connection of some kind between data items, usually involving a GUI
control at one end of the connection, and the framework takes care of
updating the connected items when the other end changes. Bindings may
be either one-directional or uni-directional.
They simplify the amount of source code that has to be written
considerably, especially with complex GUI development and many items
referring to the same data model.
Some frameworks allow property bindings, eg: having a graph item color
adjusted by a slider without going through an intermediate data model.
(WPF allows this but the cut-down version in Silverlight requires the
data model.)
They were deprecated in RB several versions ago, with the last traces
being removed in 2008r2.
