| Access Database Editor in C# |
| The Code Project |
| This project presents an Access Database Editor written in C#. The solution consists of two projects One of which the GenericOLEDB dll provides the access to the database through using the Ole Db classes available in C#. As the title suggests the dll code is completely generic and all the main database code that is specific to Access is contained in the project files that call the code. The main project and the consumer of the GenericOLEDB project contains two files the main file takes care of the specific creation and opening of the database as well as the database operations where there is no further information required, and the second file presents and editor that allows the editing of a row of data for insertions or deletions. |

| An Extensive Examination of the DataGrid Web Control: Part 1 |
| ASP.NET - 4GuysFromRolla |
| This article is the first in a multi-part series on using the DataGrid Web control that will span several weeks. The ASP.NET DataGrid Web control, which displays database information in an HTML table, is highly versitile. In its simplest form (examined in this article) the DataGrid displays a bare-bones HTML table, but it can be enhanced to output a richer UI, to allow for sorting based on the database columns, and to even allow paging of the database results! All of these interesting topics will be covered in future parts of this article series. |

| Array class and IEnumerator in C# |
| C# Help |
| This article illustrates the usage of Array class and IEnumerator in C#. Array class Provides methods for creating, manipulating, searching and sorting arrays, thereby serving as the base class for all arrays in the common language runtime.

| Array Types in .NET |
| MSDN |
| Arrays are mechanisms that allow you to treat several items as a single collection. The Microsoft® .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) supports single-dimensional arrays, multidimensional arrays, and jagged arrays (arrays of arrays). All array types are implicitly derived from System.Array, which itself is derived from System.Object. This means that all arrays are always reference types which are allocated on the managed heap, and your app's variable contains a reference to the array and not the array itself. |

| ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook Chapter 3: Custom Controls |
| The Code Project |
| The most common techniques in building custom controls in ASP.NET. |
|
| ASP.NET Server Control Creation |
| C#Today |
| ASP.NET custom server controls provide a powerful architecture for isolating the atomic functionality of applications, using highly reusable compiled components (dll). This makes enforcing application-wide rules and applying composite view design patterns easy. In this article, Daniel Cazzulino will look at numerous facets of these controls, such as extending their functionality. |
|
| Binding a DataGrid to an ADO Recordset |
| DotNetJunkies |
| Sooner or later you're going to need to bind a control to an ADO Recordset. The most likely reason is that you need to leverage a control written in COM that returns a recordset. As you will see, this is actually a very easy thing to do. |
|
| Building a Custom Data Provider for Use with the .NET Data Access Framework |
| MSDN |
| The System.Data.dll assembly in the .NET Framework contains namespaces whose base classes can be used to create custom data providers. These namespaces also define a number of data access interfaces and base classes that let developers create data providers that will interoperate with other custom providers. Using the ADO.NET classes Connection, Command, DataReader, and DataAdapter, writing a provider is easier than writing one for OLE DB. This article explains these classes and their implementation, and how they can be used to write a variety of different kinds of data providers. |

| Creating Custom Collections |
| FLWS.com.au |
| Even though the FCL offers many different collection types such as the SortedList, ArrayList, Hashtable etc., sometimes it makes sense to create your own. Creating your own, custom collection can help to make your code more self describing. |

| Creating Data Bound Controls |
| C#Today |
| In this article, Dot Net Guruhew Reynolds takes a look at how to build Windows Forms controls that support data binding. Youre probably already familiar with how to use data binding with Windows Forms controls supplied with the Framework, but what you may not be familiar with is how to create your own controls that have this functionality. This article will show you how. |
|
| Creating dynamic data structures |
| FLWS.com.au |
| In the first part of this series - Creating custom collections - I showed how to wrap a .NET collection class to create a new enumerable collection with a custom name. In that article I used an ArrayList as my underlying storage container. Was that a good choice? Should I have used a HashTable? What's the difference anyway? Well, as you are probably aware, there are many differences between a HashTable and an ArrayList, but what you may not already know is that these differences can dictate how the underlying data is stored in memory. In this article I'll explain the different structures that are used to store data in memory and demonstrate why different collection classes require different underlying structures. |

| Data Binding Between Controls in Windows Forms |
| MSDN |
| Data binding is a very powerful feature of most applications, and Windows® Forms and Web Forms applications are clearly no exception. Data binding is the process of retrieving data from a source and dynamically associating it with a property of a visual element. Depending on the context in which the element will be displayed, you can map the element to an HTML tag, a Microsoft® .NET Web control, or a Windows Forms control. |
