How to display data effectively [modified]
-
Dear guru's, I'm a beginner with "database-programming". My standard task is to read some xml-file in a dataset, then I "hack around" with some relations and display the result in any tabular form (e.g. DataGridView). This is a lot of programming for each different view which I want to have on my data. But I feel, this is stupid and there are much more effective ways to manage this. My question: How are such tasks (different views on data, without a lot of programming) done? Any tip for a beginner? Thanks in advance

Can you elaborate on what you consider different views of the data ? Do you mean that the same data is filtered, sorted, grouped, but basically the same ? You can add functionality to the Gridview to do sorting. A little bit more detail could get you better suggestions.
