Multiform Projects and Database Applications


Using Multiple Forms
 All the projects that you have created up to now
have operated from a single form.
 The first form a project displays is called the
startup form .
 You can add more forms to the project and display
them as needed. A project can have as many forms
as you wish.
Creating New Forms
 To add a new form to a project, select Add
Windows Form from the Project menu.
 You can select from many installed templates.
Windows Form Templates
An About Box
 One popular type of form in a project is an About
box , such as the one you find in most Windows
programs under Help / About .
 Usually an About box gives the name and version
of the program as well as information about the
programmer or company.

Dashboard Form
 Dashboard is a type of graphical user interface
which often provides at-a-glance views of
objective and business processes of the
application.

Hiding or Closing a Form
 You already know how to close the current form:
this.Close();
 You also can use the Close method to close any
other form:

 You can also hide a form using this method


Responding to Form Events
 The two primary events for which you may need to write
code are :
1. Form .Load
2. Form .Activated.
 The first time a form is shown in an application, both the
Load and Activated events occur.
 The Load event occurs when the form is loaded into
memory
 The Activated event occurs after the Load event, just as
control is passed to the form.
Connecting C# with Databases
 You can use C# to write applications that interact
with databases.
 Databases are composed of tables of related
information.
 Each table is organized into rows representing
records and columns containing fields of data.
ADO.NET and C#
 ADO stands for Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects.
ADO.NET is one of Microsoft’s Data Access
Technologies, using which we can communicate with
different data sources.
 It is a part of the .NET Framework, which connects
the .NET Application (Console, WCF, WPF,
Windows, MVC, Web Form, etc.) and different data
sources.
 The Data Sources can be SQL Server, Oracle,
MySQL, XML, etc
ADO.NET Architecture
ADO.NET Components
 There are a number of key classes that are available in
ADO.NET that allows us to work with data in a database.
 Briefly they are:
 SqlConnection - specify the connection to the database.

 SqlCommand – send SQL statements to the database.

 SqlDataReader – obtain results from a SELECT SQL

statement.
 DataSet – memory representation of the database.

 SqlDataAdapter – exchanges data between a DataSet

and a Database.

DataGridView
 The DataGridView control provides a powerful
and flexible way to display data in a tabular
format.
 You can use the DataGridView control to show
read-only views of a small amount of data, or you
can scale it to show editable views of very large
sets of data.
DataGrid View
Creating a Database Application (GRUD
Operation)
 CRUD stands for create, read, update, and delete.
These are the four basic functions of persistent
storage.
 It can also describe user-interface conventions that
allow viewing, searching, and modifying
information through computer-based forms and
reports.
