Database programming
Data bound controls – Introduction :
 A Control that can be connected to a Data Control to
show or edit data from a database is called Data
bound control
 A data-bound control which becomes aware of data
from database is also called data-aware control
 A Date bound control’s properties “DataSource” and
“DataField” help in connecting it to a field of
recordset retrieved by a data control.
 The value in a Data bound control comes from
current record of the recordset retried by Data control

CCP603.31
DATABASE PROGRAMMING

Data bound controls – Introduction :

 When a Data control moves from one record to
the next, all bound controls connected to the Data
control change to display data from fields in the
current record.

 When users change data in a bound control and

then move to a different record, the changes are
automatically saved in the database.

CCP603.31
DATABASE PROGRAMMING
Data bound controls – Introduction :
 To create interfaces for data entry, data editing,
or data viewing, Visual Basic offers a wide
variety of data bound controls

 In version 6.0, several new data-aware (data-

bound) controls have been added

 In addition to these new controls, the new

Validate Event and Causes Validation property
prevent a control from losing focus until all data
has been validated
CCP603.31
DATABASE PROGRAMMING
Data bound controls – Introduction (contd..):

 For example, you can create data-entry forms that

validate data by preventing the user from tabbing
off the form until all fields have been filled in
 The following is a list of important data bound
controls in Visual Basic
