    Hi,

    Anyone help me, how to bind a dataset to a dataset to a dataset to datagridview, in asp.net we have .databind property, wat else can be used in windows application?

    DataBind is a method, not a property.  In Windows forms you just set the DataSource property.  In the case of a DataSet, you'd need to set the DataMember to the name of the DataTable too.

    That said, you should use a BindingSource as an intermediary.  Bind the DataTable to the BindingSource via its DataSource and DataMember properties, then bind the BindingSource to the DataGridView.

    Thanks for the help,

    I tried by setting the DataMember and it worked fine.... but in this case i just used a single table, so I used the table name, what if im retrieving data from more than one table? what must be used as the datamember?

    The DataMember is assigned the name of the DataTable, not the table in the database.  You can only bind one DataTable.  Whether or not the data in that DataTable comes from 1, 2 or 100 different tables in the database is irrelevant.
