Data Binding Common Concepts
- 2 minutes to read
In this section you will find general information on data binding. Data-aware DevExpress .NET controls use the common data binding mechanism that is provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework. If you are familiar with the data-binding model in .NET, you can simply skip the corresponding documents and read the topics that are specific only to DevExpress .NET controls.
Note that the topics that describe the data binding mechanism do not cover all the issues. Please see MSDN for more information.
