C1ExpressTable is the main component of DataObjects for .NET Express. It defines a table, a rowset. Data-aware controls, such as ComponentOne, Microsoft or third-party grid controls, can bind to a C1ExpressTable component as their DataSource. A C1ExpressTable component can be used either as a standalone data control or attached to a C1ExpressConnection component. In the latter case, all C1ExpressTable components attached to a C1ExpressConnection share the same database connection and form a data set, see C1ExpressConnection: Combining Tables into Data Sets.
