1 Creating SQL Database file And Displaying a Database Table in a DataGridView

2 Basic Database Concepts
A database: is a collection of related data, organized into entities called tables that are connected together by relationships. A Table: is a part of the database that contains related information about a certain entity (Students, Teachers, Faculties, etc.). A table consists of fields that represent the needed information. A certain data type should be specified for each field (e.g. StudentName "string or varchar", CreditHours "Int", etc.) Primary Key: A unique field, that shouldn't be repeated in any record, and shouldn't be null.

33 How Data Binding Works The technique through which GUI controls are connected to data sources is known as data binding. The IDE allows controls, such as a DataGridView, to be bound to a data source, such as a DataSet that represents a table in a database. Any changes you make through the application to the underlying data source will automatically be reflected in the way the data is presented in the data-bound control (e.g., the DataGridView). Likewise, modifying the data in the data-bound control and saving the changes updates the underlying data source.
