2.1. What’s Next

Chapter 3 shows how to make a data entry form that isn’t on a grid like you would see in a typical Access database application. What is very straightforward in Microsoft Access becomes challenging to implement in C#. You’ll also learn how easy it is to deal with related records in multiple tables in a DataSet. If you think about how you have multiple forms (Parent/Child) in an Access application, you can do something very similar in C#, but you can do it within a single form. While there is some complexity that initially seems difficult, I think you’ll find the flexibility that you gain is worth the effort.
