Data Components in Visual Studio .NET
Mahesh Chand, David Talbot · Apress eBooks · 2003
In the previous chapter, you saw the basics of the ADO.NET model and its components and how they are connected to each other in the ADO.NET architecture. The Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides design-time support to work with data components. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use these data components in the VS .NET IDE at design-time to create database applications. Using ADO.NET components (also referred to as data components ) is similar to using any Windows control. You just drag the component from the Toolbox to a form, set its properties and methods, and you’re up and running. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
