Viewing Data Using a DataView 

The DataView is commonly used in data-binding applications where a control exposes the contents of the underlying table as a view. The following topics describe how to expose the contents of a DataView to a custom control, or in an application that is not data-bound, including how to search for particular values in a DataView and how to create views of child data from parent-child relationships.
