How to bind data from internal database to devExpress gridcontrol

Question

I am an newbie, programming on devExpress silverlight application. I created a database by adding new item , and i added Database1.mdf in to solution trial.web . When i create my project it had 2 solutions: DXSilverlightApplication1 (contains MainPage.xaml/.cs ) and Trial.Web (contains DXSilverlightApplication1TestPage.aspx/.html ).

I really have no idea how to bind data from an MDF file to devExpress grid control. MY data base has 2 columns: Name and ID only. Please help me.

Answer 1

Create a table adapter that does a basic SELECT:

SELECT * FROM YourDatabaseName

Once you have done that on the top right corner of your GridControl select the data source (in our example the basic SELECT statement). Hope this helps.
