>Thanks Dave. Does the data binding book separate the layers? Or does it use data >binding directly from within the forms?

the data binding book has a chapter where it creates a class that is a separate data layer... you then use that class throughout the remainder of the book in your .NET 2.0 WinForms.

Very early in the book, just to get you up and running, they provide an example where the data is bound directly within the forms...

I saw Michele Leroux-Bustamante demonstrate stuff from her WCF book; after seeing her demo it became obvious anything coming out of www.IDesign.net warrants a serious look...
