Summary

This chapter has introduced some of the methods of displaying data under .NET. System.Windows.Forms includes large number of classes to be explored, and this chapter used the DataGridView and DataGrid controls to display data from many different data sources, such as an Array, DataTable, or DataSet.

Because it is not always appropriate to display data in a grid, this chapter also discussed how to link a column of data to a single control in the user interface. The binding capabilities of .NET make this type of user interface very easy to support, because it’s generally just a case of binding a control to a column and letting .NET do the rest of the work.
