In Brief

This chapter provided a detailed discussion of Data Binding. The important points include the following:

• ADO.NET has many structural changes from ADO, introducing some new concepts.

• Loading data from a database is easy using the built-in tools in Visual Studio .NET and the DataAdapter.

• DataBinding in Windows Forms binds to the actual objects themselves for ultimate flexibility.

• Using the Currency Manager, you can easily create data-management applications that support navigation through the available records.
