WPF binding question

After searching all around the web, I'm not sure this is even possible in WPF, but I figured someone here could give me a concrete answer.

I have a datatable wrapped in an ObjectDataProvider and set to the datacontext of my window. Binding to ItemControls works fine and if I then have some other controls bound to the current item and everything is golden.

But since this particular table will only ever have one row, I want to bind to the current item without having an ItemControl. Is this possible? In WinForms this was accomplished through the use of a BindingSource item. Is there a WPF equivalent?

Okay, it seems I can get it to work but I have to manually call UpdateTarget in the code-behind. Does this mean that the DataView doesn't notify controls of changes?

the issue here is that you are binding to a dataset or datatable that will return a collection, hence the items control works.

You need to create a row (assuming you have a beagle dataset) to bind to e.g. Dim row as BeagleDataSet.Row()

You can then bind to this object

I ended up binding to BeagleDataTable.Rows[0] and got it to work, but I end up having to call UpdateTarget manually if the data in the row changes.

I really wish Oracle would implement something for EF so I wouldn't have to ram the square-shaped dataset into the round WPF hole.
