ADO Data Control

The ADO Data Control is similar to the intrinsic Data control and the Remote Data Control (RDC). The ADO Data Control allows you to quickly create a connection to a database using Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). Remarks At design time, you can create a connection by setting the ConnectionString property to a valid connection string, then set the RecordSource property to a statement appropriate to the database manager. You can also set the ConnectionString property to the name of a file that defines a connection; the file is generated by a Data Link dialog box, which appears when you click ConnectionString on the Properties window and then click either Build or Select. Connect the ADO Data Control to a data-bound control such as the DataGrid, DataCombo, or DataList control by setting the DataSource property to the ADO Data Control.
