How Data Binding Works
• The technique through which GUI controls are
connected to data sources is known as data binding.
• The IDE allows controls, such as a DataGridView, to be
bound to a data source, such as a DataSet that
represents a table in a database.
• Any changes you make through the application to the
underlying data source will automatically be reflected
in the way the data is presented in the data-bound
control (e.g., the DataGridView).
• Likewise, modifying the data in the data-bound control
and saving the changes updates the underlying data
source.
