The task-based help assumes that you are familiar with programming in Visual Studio environment, and know how to use bound controls in general. Each topic provides a solution for specific tasks using ADO.NET DataExtender. The help uses an Access database, C1NWind.mdb, as the data source. It is assumed C1NWind.mdb is in the ComponentOne Samples\Common directory (see ADO.NET DataExtender Samples for more information) where it is installed when ADO.NET DataExtender is installed, and it 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 .NET project, added a C1DataViewSet component to the form and defined a data source for it. For additional information, see Creating a .NET Project and C1DataViewSet Data Sources.
