DataSource versus DataBindingSource

I'm a bit confused about these two. What is the difference and in what
circumstances would you use one or the other or both?

Thanks

I don't think there is any difference.

Datasource is a collection of tables or data which you can bind to any
control like grid or dropdownlist etc.

Manis: I have seen a BindingSource described as an intermediary between a
collection (data source) and a grid or list control and providing an extra
layer of abstraction, which implies differences with DataSources.
