In addition, the <a href="C1.Win.Data.Entity.4~C1.Win.Data.Entities.C1DataSource.html">C1DataSource</a> includes classes that provide support for the same features that can be controlled through the designer surface, plus many extra features that provide greater control over it through code.</p> <p>We’ll begin our exploration of the <a href="C1.Win.Data.Entity.4~C1.Win.Data.Entities.C1DataSource.html">C1DataSource</a> component by looking at how we can control it via the designer surface. From there, we explore how it can be controlled dynamically at runtime. Not all features available at runtime will be represented here. You can consult the <a href="ProgrammingGuide.html">Programming Guide</a> section of this documentation and the <a href="APIReference.html">API Reference</a> for more runtime features, including client-side transaction support and more.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="DataBinding.html">Data Binding</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="ServerSideFiltering.html">Server-Side Filtering</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="ClientSideCaching.html">Client-Side Caching</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="MasterDetailBinding.html">Master-Detail Binding</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="LargeDatasetsPaging.html">Large Datasets: Paging</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="LargeDatasetsVirtualMode.html">Large Datasets: Virtual Mode</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="AutomaticLookupColumnsinGrids.html">Automatic Lookup Columns in Grids</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="CustomizingView.html">Customizing View</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="WorkingwithDataSourcesinCode2.html">Working with DataSources in Code</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="LiveViews.html">Live Views</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="SimplifyingMVVM2.html">Simplifying MVVM</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="UsingEFDataSourcewithotherMVVMFramework.html">Using C1DataSource in MVVM with other MVVM framework</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
