The DataObjects for .NET gateway to data is the C1DataSet component. Every DataObjects for .NET client uses one or more C1DataSet components to bind or gain access to data. Setting up a C1DataSet component, you need to:

• Attach it to the schema either by setting the SchemaDef property (if a C1SchemaDef component resides on the same design surface, a case that is called direct client) or by setting its DataLibrary property (if the schema resides in a data library, case called library client) and, optionally, setting the DataLibraryUrl property (if the data library resides on a remote computer, a case called remote client). See Application Configurations for detailed description of different configuration and deployment options and explanations of the terms direct client, data library and remote client.
• When the C1DataSet component is attached to a schema, set its DataSetDef property choosing a data set definition name in the combo box showing all data sets defined in the schema.
