In this book, Brian demonstrates a firm grasp on the concepts and I really enjoy his efforts to promote best practices at every chance. Definitively a cover-to-cover read.Data binding is the most important part of many business applicationsand one of the most difficult things to understand. Data Binding with Windows Forms 2.0 is the first book to focus on this crucial area of development. It will quickly get you up to speed on binding data sources to Windows Forms components. The book contains clear examples in C# that work with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. Visual Basic .NET examples are available on the book’s Web site. This book is all about the what and the why of binding to data sources in a Windows Forms application built using Visual Studio 2005. The book goes into great detail in explaining the rationale behind the designer-generated code, recommends best practices, gives tips and tricks, demystifies the machine-generated code and how to extend it, and shows how to compensate for its limitations.
