Displaying Data in a Data Grid

Also as shown in the EasyAccess example, you can connect a data grid control to a dataset, using the data grid's DataSource and DataMember properties. Data grids are especially useful, because they can display an entire table at once. (You also can click a column header to sort the data on the corresponding field.)

You can see a data grid at work in Figure 20.10, in the EasyAccess example. We'll cover data grids in depth in Chapter 21-see "Using the DataGrid Class" in that chapter.
