DataBinding

You can bind the control to a data set, such as data in a database, or to anything that the .NET framework allows, such as an IList object. .



When you bind the component using the default settings, data from the data set is read into the columns and rows of the sheet to which you bind the data. Columns are associated with fields, and rows represent each record in the data set. FarPoint Spread can automatically update the data set with the changes.

You can also allow part of your spreadsheet to be unbound. You can also bind to a range of cells. With FarPoint Spread for Windows Forms, there are many data binding options.
