In this step, you'll add a C1DataSource component to the form and connect it to the Categories table of the data source.

1. Drag a C1DataSource component from the Toolbox onto the form. This is a non-visual component, so it will appear on the tray below the form area rather than on the form itself.
2. In the Properties window, set the C1DataSource's ContextType property to the available item in the drop-down list. It should be something similar to AppName.NORTHWNDEntities.
   Note: The C1DataSource.ContextType Property accepts both DbContext and ObjectContext derived types, as its values.
3. Click the ellipsis button next to the ViewSourceCollection property to open the EntityViewSourceProperties 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.
