Sybase's DataWindow .NET: Way Beyond the .NET DataGrid
Sybase's new DataWindow .NET lets you create powerful data-driven applications that provide advanced display and printing capabilities with less programming than ever. If you ever worked with PowerBuilder, you'll know why a .NET version of the DataWindow is such an important addition to your toolset. If not, you'll be surprised at the power of the DataWindow.

ybase's DataWindow .NET provides a powerful tool for creating data driven applications with capabilities far beyond the native DataGrid. With it, you can develop flexible, high performance, visually appealing applications with very little coding. The native DataWindow properties, events and methods simplify development.
This article and the downloadable code show you how to create a Windows Form with buttons to Retrieve, Add, Delete, Save, Export, Sort, Filter and Print data. You will create three DataWindow objects using Sybase's DataWindow Designer and associate each DataWindow with an SQL Server table. Each data entry form accesses a different table. The code behind each button will work for all three data entry forms—without modification—to illustrate the DataWindow's built-in OOP capabilities. Figure 1 shows the final application.
