Building Blocks of Data Binding

Stop fumbling around trying to recall the key building blocks of ADO.NET and Dot Net's data binding architecture. Here they are (fresh from System.Data.dll):

1. DataTable
2. DataColumnCollection: defines schema of DataTable
3. DataColumn: building block of schema of DataTable

Adapters create DataTables which are attached to BindingSources that get strapped on to Controls.

Key properties on DataColumn include:

1. ColumnName
2. DataType: e.g. Decimal, Double, Byte, Char, DateTime (or System.Type.GetType ("System.DateTime"))
