data and related objects
 Tool Box contains various controls
 Form is used to place the controls
 Data can be stored in the form of tables

CCP603.11 4
Introduction to Data Connections :

 Visual Basic provides database tools to

access data from a Database, such as
Microsoft Access
 We can create Databases in MS – Access
 It is possible to use such databases in Visual
Basic
 To use them, we need Data Connections

CCP603.11 5
Definition of Data Control :

 A control used to provide access to data in

databases through bound controls on the
form

CCP603.11 6
Uses of Data Control :

 To make the connection between a Form and

a Database

 To manipulate the data

 To move from record to record in a database

CCP603.11 10
Summary :
 Data control is used to provide access to
data in databases through bound controls on
the form
