I am new to VB.net. I have recently taken a class on VB.Net forms. In this course they discussed three different binding methods, Binding to a Dataset, LINQ, Datasource. Other than code I am not sure what the difference between them. Why would one de better than any other. Or are there instances where one is better than another.
As Trump would say that is a "YUGE" topic. One being better than another is partly perspective. Here is a good link to start learning.

Are you talking about a Web Forms application, because a data source in that context is a specific type of control, whereas in another context it simply means a list of data that is the source for a UI element? If you're not talking about that then they aren't three different types of binding; they're all the same. In Windows Forms, you bind a control to a list of some sort. How you create that list is irrelevant to the binding. All that matters is that it implements the IList or IListSource interface. In that scenario, a DataSet IS a data source, as is a list of objects produced by a LINQ query.
