The LiveBindings Designer makes it really easy to visually bind user interface elements with data. Bind data and properties by simply drawing lines between objects. Whether you're binding properties of two user interface elements to keep them in sync or binding data to controls, you can see the available bindable properties and fields, and make the connections visually – without coding.

Once you've created your LiveBindings, you can also use the LiveBindings Designer to manage them. Visually view the connections to see the big picture or zoom in on the details. The LiveBindings Designer also provides layers management so you can organize your project into 'Photoshop'-like layers and easily toggle layer visibility to filter your view as you work on different areas of your project.
