Updating Data with the ADO Data Control

ADO Data Control data can be either read-only or modifiable. To create an application that modifies data using ADO Data Control, do the following.

1. Set ADO Data Control CursorLocation property. Options are:
   • Server Side
     
     
   • Client Side
2. Set ADO Data Control LockType property. The optimistic concurrency is recommended.
   
   
3. Set ADO Data Control CursorType property. Options are:
   • Keyset Cursor
     
     
   • Dynamic Cursor
     
     
   • Static Cursor

   Make sure the OLE DB provider supports the chosen option.

4. Set the data-bound control's properties, as needed, to allow updatability. Note that some controls do not allow updating.

Refer to the ADO documentation for more information on these properties; see Getting Help on Controls.
