Data Binding

Using DHTML, the results of database queries can be “bound” to HTML elements, such as the rows of a table. (You can also use data-binding ActiveX controls, such as the Advanced Data Connector (ADC), included in earlier versions of Internet Explorer.) Data Binding allows you to remotely view and modify the results of database queries within the browser. It is a function of Remote Data Services (RDS), which is part of the Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) family of data access components.

Note Data binding is supported if you are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.

For more information about RDS and ADO, see Data Access and Transactions in this book or see the IIS 5.0 online product documentation. For more information about data binding, see http://msdn.microsoft.com.
