BindingNavigator & BindingSource Classes in VS2005

 

BindingNavigator Class represents the navigation and manipulation user interface for controls on a form that are bound to data.

 

BindingSource Class encapsulates the data source for a form.

 

In most cases, a BindNavigator is paired with a BindSource control to move through data records on a form and interact with them.

 

Code snippet:

private BindingSource EmployeesBindingSource;

// Create a BindingSource for all the BindingNavigators to use

this.EmployeesBindingSource = new BindingSource();

// Associate the DataSet with the BindingSource.

this.EmployeesBindingSource.DataMember = "Employee";

this.EmployeesBindingSource.DataSource = ds;

 

// Associate the BindingNavigators with the BindingSource

this.EmployeesBindingNavigator.BindingSource = this.EmployeesBindingSource;

 

BindingNavigator Constructor:

public BindingNavigator( bool addStandardItems );

addStandardItems

true to show the standard VCR-like navigational UI; otherwise, false.
