If the data for a DataWindow does not come from a database (for example, the data source was defined as External in the DataWindow wizard), you can use these methods to import data into the DataWindow control:
ImportClipboard (not supported for the WebDataWindowControl)
ImportFile
ImportString
The data format can be XML, comma-separated values, or text. You can also get data into the DataWindow by using one of the SetItem methods or by using a DataWindow expression.
For more information on the SetItem methods and DataWindow expressions, see “Accessing data values using methods”.
