hi all, i was wondering why the dataadapter does not appear in the toolbox by default anymore. why do they hide it? i scratched my head for minutes and minutes trying to figure out what this "bindingsource" was. This is a little departure from .net2003. is this the same as the dataview object? thanks in advance george hardy > i was wondering why the dataadapter does not appear in the toolbox by > default anymore. why do they hide it? I hardly ever use the designer to do my database stuff so I didn't even notice that this was not in the toolbox until you mentioned it. > i scratched my head for minutes and minutes trying to figure out what this > "bindingsource" was. This is a little departure from .net2003. is this the > same as the dataview object? BindingSource is different than the DataView. Think of the DataView as a SQL View, it's just another way of looking at the data. The BindingSource acts as a go-between for your data and your controls. An example would be if you wanted to show database data in a DataGridView and have the ability perform a Find on the data in the grid. In this case you would use the BindingSource as the DataSource for the DataGridView. You perform the find on the BindingSource and DataGridView will automatically scroll down to the Found record. thanks, that makes some sense.... as far as the dataadapter , i have heard before that bound controls are devilspawn, but it works for me pretty good...my boss likes me to kick the code out quick, and this is easy....this, besides a textbox, is my most commonly used control. thanks again, george >> i was wondering why the dataadapter does not appear in the toolbox by >> default anymore. why do they hide it?
