bound control

A data-aware control that can provide access to a specific field or fields in a database through a Data control. A data-aware control is typically bound to a Data control through its DataSource and DataField properties. When a Data control moves from one record to the next, all bound controls connected to the Data control change to display data from fields in the current record. When users change data in a bound control and then move to a different record, the changes are automatically saved in the database.
