Management with ADO.NET disconnected data
Management and data access with Visual Basic. NET are used to these typical steps:
-
creating a connection with the source data
-
execution of a query on the database
-
returning data properly organized with any access control to data
With ADO, VB6 and even more so with ADO.NET has managed to perfect the
creation of a disconnected recordset, ie the creation of a data table without opening any connection with a specific data source.
To explain this concept simply:
-
we create a Windows Application project
-
add a class that manages the creation of this recordeset disconnected
-
coupled to the control of access to the data type DataGridView
-
suppose to add data in the disconnected recordset using the class created in Step 2
-
you should update automatically control access to the data (see point 3)
with the first graphic illustration represent the first step to create a Windows Application project:
dialog box is shown on (not in sight) an Ok button.
We press this button and we will have:
double-click the form you need to plan this window:
this form is:
-
from a DataGridView
-
three labels and three text boxes
-
two command buttons to update the dataset, respectively, and clean out the form
