Step 2 of 4: Connecting the Data to C1DataSource

In this step, you'll add a C1DataSource component to the window (or page) and connect it to the Categories table of the data source.

1.   Drag a C1DataSource component from the Toolbox onto the window and name it c1DataSource1. This is a non-visual component, so it can be placed anywhere within the window's inner content.

2.   In the Properties window, set the C1DataSource's ObjectContextType property to the available item in the drop-down list. It should be something similar to AppName.NORTHWINDEntities.

3.   Click the ellipsis button next to the ViewSources property to open the ViewSources Collection Editor.

4.   Click Add and set the EntitySetName property to Categories.

5.   Click OK to close the editor.

With the database connected to C1DataSource, all you need to do is add a grid to display the data.
