Data Binding and Deployment

 Data Binding
• Data binding is a process through which we can
bind the GUI controls like Textbox or Listbox with
data source i.e dataset.
• The data from dataset can be directly displayed
in the controls
• The control is perfectly mapped with the data
source
• So changes made in control reflect in data source
and vice versa.
 Types:
Simple Data binding:

• In this type of binding controls like textbox and

labels are binded with specific values of data
field
• Controls used in this binding can display single
value at a time.
• Eg: salary of emp having specific id can be shown
by simple data binding
• TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("text",
myds.Tables(0), "ID")
 Complex Data binding:

• In this type of binding controls like

listbox,combobox are binded with multiple
values.
• Controls used in this data binding can display a
multiple values at a time
• Eg: emp_id of all the emp can be shown by
complex data
ListBox1.DataSource = myds.Tables(0)
ListBox1.DisplayMember = "ID"
 Simple Data binding
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Data

Public Class Form1

Private conn As OleDbConnection
Private adpt As OleDbDataAdapter
Private cmd As OleDbCommandBuilder
Private myds As DataSet
Private sqlstr As String

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

conn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\Apurva\Documents\Student.accdb")
conn.Open()
myds = New DataSet
sqlstr = "select * from info"
adpt = New OleDbDataAdapter(sqlstr, conn)
adpt.SelectCommand.CommandText = sqlstr
cmd = New OleDbCommandBuilder(adpt)
adpt.Fill(myds, "info")
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("text", myds.Tables(0), "ID")
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("text", myds.Tables(0), "name")

End Sub
End Class
