How does DataBinding work?

When I click on the DataBinding in the properties window a list of options
open up called Advanced,Tag and Text. I would like to know what Tag and Text
are set to? I hope to Bind a text box to a Access database in my program.

Shane,

Did you do everything,
(creating the databaseconnect ion, dataset and dataadapter) using the
designer?

Than you can take the text property from the bindings and click on the +
from the dataset until you find the proper field.

In your load event you can than place something as:
Me.SqlDataAdapt er1.Fill(Me.Dat aSet11)

I hope this helps?

Shane,

You did the connection stuff, however for this question it is important to
know what parts of the designer you did use. You can do almost everything
with the designer and use completly nothing. That is important for the
databinding when using the designer, a normal databinding done in code is.

textbox1.DataBi ndings.Add(New Binding("Text", dataset1.Tables (0),
"LastName") )

The text part is your Text property from your control which can as well by
the Tag property from that when you want other properties you can use the
advanced property tab from the designer.

I hope this answers your question so far?

Thanks for the Reply Cor,
Yes I have already done the connection stuff. I just need help understanding how to update a database by using a txtBOX. I can update the database by
using a Upload button, but that is not what I was hoping to do. I know that I have to Bind the txtBOX to the access data table but I really don't
understand what Tag and Text are used for.

Hi, There seem to be several ways to update rows in sql. What is the best practice? I have written a medium sized update statement into a stored procedure, taking values from the web text controls, drop down lists etc. It works, but i have also been reading on databinding fields to a datasource and setting form control autopostback to true. I now am worried I have not implemented a very good way to post back to sql. Is what I have done...

When I first built a few web pages in ASP .Net 2.0, I thought it was great. The formview and detailview contorls would automatically layout the controls for you, the update methods were automatically generated, and the objectdatasource let you design against a business object through the gui. Now I am working on my first real web application on 2.0, and I find this automatic functionality doesn't do much beyond allowing me to generate...

I have tried using Databinding for my application but always seem to find it very restrictive (maybe I don't completely understand it enough).

My question is has anyone really used databinding in anything but the simpliest application...

I've spent loads of time Googling to try to work this one out and I'm sure it's something obvious.

Hi, I am new to this newsgroup and need help in the following questions. 1. I am workin' on a GUI application. Does C# provides Layout Managers the way Java does to design GUI? I know that it can be done using the designer but I intentionally don't want to use that. The one reason is that you cannot change the code generated by the designer. The other could be that you have more free hand and control to design your GUI. 2....
