Creating a Binding Navigator |
|
There are various ways you can create a binding navigator:
- You can declare
a variable of type BindingNavigator and configure it
- From the Data section of the Toolbox, you can drag a BindingNavigator
object and drop it on a form. You should then access the Properties window
for the binding navigator. To support this, the BindingNavigator class has a
property named BindingSource. You can access it from the Properties window
of the binding navigator and select the binding source
- If you drag a table from the Data Source window and drop it on a form,
Microsoft Visual Studio would create and configure a binding navigator for
you
