+# How to: Bind Windows Forms Controls with the BindingSource Component Using the Designer
+After you have added controls to your form and determined the user interface for your application, you can bind the controls to a data source, so that, at run time, users can alter and save data related to the application.
+
+ Binding a control or series of controls in Windows Forms is most easily accomplished using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource> control as a bridge between the controls on the form and the data source.
+
+ One or more controls on a form can be bound to data; in the following procedure, a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control is bound to a data source.
+
+ To complete the procedure, it is assumed that you will bind to a data source derived from a database. For more information on creating data sources from other stores of data, see [Add new data sources](/visualstudio/data-tools/add-new-data-sources).
+
+## To bind a control at design time
+
+1. Drag a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control on to the form.
+
+2. In the **Properties** window:
+
+    1. Expand the **(DataBindings)** node.
+
+    2. Click the arrow next to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox.Text%2A> property.
+
+         The **DataSource** UI type editor opens.
+
+         If a data source has previously been configured for the project or form, it will appear.
+
+3. Click **Add Project Data Source** to connect to data and create a data source.
+
+4. On the **Data Source Configuration Wizard** welcome page, click **Next**.
+
+5. On the **Choose a Data Source Type** page, select **Database**.
+
+6. On the **Choose Your Data Connection** page, select a data connection from the list of available connections. If your desired data connection is not available select **New Connection** to create a new data connection.
+
+7. Select **Yes, save the connection** to save the connection string in the application configuration file.
+
+8. Select the database objects to bring into your application. In this case, select a field in a table that you would like the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> to display.
+
+9. Replace the default dataset name if you want.
+
+10. Click **Finish**.
+
+11. In the **Properties** window, click the arrow next to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox.Text%2A> property again. In the **DataSource** UI type editor, select the name of the field to bind the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> to.
+
+     The **DataSource** UI type editor closes and the data set, <xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource> and table adapter specific to that data connection are added to your form.
