The task-based help assumes that you are familiar with programming in Visual Studio .NET, know what a DataSet is, and know how to use bound controls in general. By following the steps outlined in the help, you will be able to create projects demonstrating a variety of C1GridView features and get a good sense of what C1GridView can do.

The help uses the standard Northwind Access database, Nwind.mdb, for bound data, which is installed by default in the ComponentOne Samples\Common folder in your Documents folder. The database is referred to by filename instead of the full pathname for the sake of brevity.

Each task-based help topic also assumes that you have created a new ASP.NET project, have placed a bound C1GridView control on the form, and have used the Imports (Visual Basic) or using (C#) statement for the C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.C1GridView namespace and relevant System namespaces. For additional information, see Binding the Grid to a Data Source.
