Using ADO DataSets as a DataWindow source

DataWindow .NET 2.0 supports the use of DataSets as the data source for a DataWindow object. It provides two runtime models.

Many .NET developers prefer to separate data access from data presentation and want to use the DataWindow for its presentation capabilities only. The data binding model allows you to do this. If you prefer to combine data access and presentation, you can use the retrieve and update model.

You can use the ADO DataSet option in the DataWindow wizard in DataWindow Designer to build a DataWindow object that uses a DataTable in a DataSet as the data source.

For more information, see “Using ADO DataSet” in the chapter on defining DataWindow objects in the DataWindow Designer User’s Guide, and “Using ADO DataSets as a DataWindow source” in the chapter on using DataWindow controls in the Programmer’s Guide.
