Updating a dataset from a data source

Is there a simple way to dynamically update a dataset from either an SQL or Access database without constantly invoking the Fill method?

My application needs to merely display data from a database that is constantly being updated from a completely separate application. Several of my controls are TrackBars that are databound to the dataset, and the Fill method really makes the indicator "jump around", regardless of whether it's data has changed.

Thanks.

Use WPF, it does it automatically. Of course, it's just going to call the database and ask for the data, which is what Fill does. There's no magic way to get data from the DB without calling it, no.
