Chapter 13. Data Binding and Data Grids
The data support in ado.net and integrated into VS.NET discussed in Chapter 12 is only half the story for WinForms programmers. WinForms provides a rich infrastructure for bidirectional data binding between arbitrary controls and arbitrary data sources. The control that takes the most advantage of this architecture is the data grid. This chapter covers data binding and data grids and wraps up with a discussion of custom data sources.
