No Data Control as in VB6, how do I...

[DOD132]

It appears that there is no data control as was in VB6, is this correct. If so, how do I hook up to paradox 3 tables. I am a newbie and self teching so my knowledge is very limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pirate,

What I mean is specifically the "Data" control, not Data controls in general. In VB6, there was a control called "Data" that I can place on a form, and define the specifics about the type of link to make, and was able to link in Paradox 3 tables. I don't see this functionality in .NET. It appears that you have to create this link differently, and I am lost. I am a newbie, and self teaching, so that is why it may seem like it should be apparent and it isn't to me.

I am not sure exactly what your talking about, but it sounds like you need to put a data connection object and a data adapter object on your form. Then you can configure the data adapter to access different types of DB's and fill a DataSet with the data.

I think he means that control that lets you navigate back and forward in a recordset. You'll have to make your own in .NET but check out the BindingContext and that should get you started. Do a search here or in your help files.
