Question about the DataConnector (BindingSource) component
Hi!
I've just read about DataConnector (BindingSource) component.
My little qusetion is:):
I want to create ONE dataset in the whole application on the MainForm(not on all the forms!) and all the other form's data-aware components use that one. Ok I know I can set comps' datasources to the MainForm's DataSet in run-time...
But I also want to retrieve the structure information from the DataSet to create colums in the grids IN DESIGN TIME, without to create any DataSet instance on the grid's form!
-Does the Dataconnector (or BindingSource) component make it possible?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
More clearly, for example, let's suppose:
I have a grid and a DataConnector on the form1. The grid's datasource is set to the DataConnector.
I have a DataSet class named DataSet1.
I have a DataSet1 instance on the MainForm. It's name DataSet11.
-Can I set the DataSet1 class to the DataConnector?
-Can I create the colums in the grid according to the DataSet of the DataConnector IN DESIGN TIME, WITHOUT create any instance from the DataSet1 class?
-Can the grid(on form1) use the Dataset11 object(on MainForm) through the DataConnector IN RUNTIME?

please help
