    Example
    All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
    This first code example demonstrates how to create a connection to the Access version of the Northwind database and create a property named Orders to which the grid will be bound. The code should be placed in the App.xaml.vb file.This first code example demonstrates how to create a connection to the Access version of the Northwind database and create a property named Orders to which the grid will be bound. The code should be placed in the App.xaml.cs file.The next example demonstrates how to bind a grid to the Orders table, which is retrieved through the Orders property implemented in the code above.
