How to: Move Through a DataSet with the Windows Forms BindingNavigator Control

As you build data-driven applications, you will often need to display collections of data to users. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingNavigator control, in conjunction with the xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource component, provides a convenient and extensible solution for moving through a collection and displaying items sequentially.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use a xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingNavigator control to move through data. The set is contained in a xref:System.Data.DataView, which is bound to a xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control with a xref:System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource component.

Note

Storing sensitive information, such as a password, within the connection string can affect the security of your application. Using Windows Authentication (also known as integrated security) is a more secure way to control access to a database. For more information, see Protecting Connection Information.
