The presenter of this webcast discusses how to bind data to the Windows Forms. The presenters examine the underlying mechanisms that bind controls to ADO.NET data sources. Next, they take a look at the BindingSource class, new in ADO.NET version 2.0, which acts as an intermediary between a data source and Windows Forms controls to simplify and extend the data-binding process. The attendee will get a solid handle on ADO.NET and will discover how to take advantage of the database functionality of Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET with this step-by-step primer.
