Summary
In this article, I discussed how we can create database driven development and develop the user interface using Windows form and C#. We also saw how we can put in the picture box and how it's stored in resourece.resx and database driven developing.Ffinally we got an output for displaying the contact directory.
I hope in this airticle has helped you to understand database driven development.
