How do I use a binding source with multiple tables?

Question

See more:

I have 5 tables I am working with, and I have created a binding source that uses the main table as the data used for binding. However, I am wanting to bind to all tables and be able to update them. any suggestions on how to do this? Possibly any articles that are specific to using multiple tables with a binding source?

What I have tried:

Originally, I was going to make a join statement that combined all data and then use that as the binding source data. This will work for displaying data, but this will not update the tables that are used in the join.

We cannot see your screen from here... WPF, WinForm, Xamrin Forms, etc... which framework are you using? Post code so that we can see what you are doing and offer advice on how to help.

Based on your description, i'd suggest to use a DataSet[^], which "represents a complete set of data including the tables that contain, order, and constrain the data, as well as the relationships between the tables".

Are you assuming a WinForm project?

Why do you think so?

DataSet is not used for the other frameworks

What about ASP.NET?
