Using the DataView Class
The DataView class is a convenient class for presenting a subset of a data table, for filtering, sorting, searching, editing, and browsing data in Windows Forms and Web Forms applications. The easiest way to obtain a data view is to request the default view from a data table. The basic steps are to connect to a data source, fill a data set or data table, and request the default view. Listing 16.4 demonstrates how to obtain a data view and display the data in a data grid. (Refer to Chapters 11 and 12 for more information on updating data, including updating a database by using a data view.)
