The task-based help assumes that you are familiar with programming in Visual Studio, 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 utilize the features of List for WinForms.
The help uses an Access database, C1NWind.mdb, for bound data. It is assumed C1NWind.mdb is in the \common directory that was added, by default, during the WinForms Edition installation (Documents\ComponentOne Samples\Common), 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 and have placed a bound C1List component on the form. For additional information on creating a .NET project and binding List for WinForms to a data source, see Tutorial 1 - Binding C1List to a DataSet or Tutorial 2 - Binding C1Combo to a DataSet.
In the following task-based help topics, the C1ListDemo.mbd database connection is used with the SQL statement:
SELECT Company, Contacted, CustType, FirstName, LastName, Phone, UserCode FROM Customers
The generated DataSet is DsCustomer.
