New to Win Forms

Jim Lizzi

Hi I have developed web applications in .Net for 4-5 years now and am trying to make the switch to Win Forms....I have created my DAL and BLL layers and now I am trying to figure out how to sync up my BLL objects with a DataGridView, Selecting, inserting, updating, deleting...Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial on linking up datacontrols with business objects in win forms?

Here are a few samples I found using Search the site option on C# Corner home page. I think they all are Windows Forms.

What version of .NET are you using? If you are using .NET 3.5 or 4.0. You may want to look at ADO.NET Data Entity Framework? Using this API, you can build complete data driven application without writing a single line of code.

You may want to try Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.

Here are some readings on it.

Cheers and Good Luck!
