basic form questions

[techker]

Hey guys i have a few questions about seting up a form

when you creat a new for open the dataset drag and drop the tables to form it creates a top menu bar with pages plus sign and x and save

now when you run the app you need to press the plus sign to add data in the database..is there a way to make it that you dont need to press the plus sign?

and when you save the data you get a confirmation?

Don't use data binding - instead do it through the code: ADO.Net is mighty powerful.

im just starting in this..lol

but there should be a way to make it that the default add in is set?don't need to press the plus sign all the time?

Yeah, there would be ways, but none of them are necessarily good. Whenever something happens, an event is raised, and you can make your changes then. However, which event to use can get a bit tricky. You need an event that happens after ALL of the necessary changes have been made, and that is often so difficult to determine that giving people a button (the plus sign serves the same purpose) to click when they are ready is often the best solution.
