Accessing Data Using Listing Controls

Accessing databases is commonly done to retrieve and display data in a Web application. As with all other Microsoft ASP.NET Web applications, an ASP.NET mobile Web Forms application can easily access databases for the same purposes.

Mobile Web Forms provide three mobile controls, List SelectionList, and ObjectList that you can use to display a large quantity of data from a database.

This section describes how you can bind data to these controls.
