Visual InterDev
Once you've added a data connection to a database, you can query the database to specify a set of records that you want to use with a particular Web page. Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ makes sets of database records available through the Recordset design-time control.
To add a Recordset control to an ASP or HTML page
Tip If the Recordset control is not shown in the Toolbox, right-click on the Toolbox, choose Customize Toolbox, and add the Recordset control.
You can now specify a set of records for the Recordset control.
To specify a set of records
For more information on the Recordset control and setting its properties, see Recordset Properties Dialog Box.
You can display data from this set of records by adding a data-bound control to your ASP or HTML page and setting the Recordset control as the control's data source. The control is then bound to the records in that table. For more information, see Displaying Records.
Note You can also create data connections and add Recordset controls to your Visual InterDev project using the data environment. The data environment is especially valuable if you want the ability to programmatically manage your data and recordsets in one location. For more information, see Viewing Data and The Data Environment.
Note Visual InterDev allows you to take advantage of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0's client-side data binding, as well as the more traditional server-side data binding. For a discussion of client-side data binding, see Data Binding.
