Step 3 of 4: Connect the View to a Grid Control

At this point you have added the Orders view, but you do not have a grid to show the data. In order to expose the Orders view, you have to bind the data view to a control.

To add a grid to your form and connect the data view to the grid, complete the following steps:

From the Toolbox, double-click C1TrueDBGrid to add it to your form.
With the C1TrueDBGrid Tasks menu open, select the Choose Data Source drop-down arrow and select C1DataViewSet1 from the Form1 List Instances node.
From the C1TrueDBGrid Tasks menu, select Dock in parent container.
From the Visual Studio Properties window, locate the C1TrueDBGrid.DataMember, select the drop-down arrow, and choose the Orders view from its list.

This binds the data to the grid.
Click Yes to replace the column layout.

You have successfully added a grid control to your form and connected the Orders view to the control. The next topic shows how to run the application.
