Summary
In this chapter, we looked at the basic principals of data binding in .NET and saw how the power of the .NET controls can work for us to create a very productive environment. We saw how simple binding works for single data items and single controls. We then saw how complex binding works for the DataGrid both in isolation with a locally created data table and using a full database through ADO.NET.
We're keeping the focus on Windows Forms now as we continue with Chapter 3.4, “Windows Forms Example Application (Scribble .NET),” which deals with more component usage, including the use of resources as a means of decorating your GUI elements.
