You can use the BindingNavigator control to create a standardized means for users to search and change data on a Windows Form. You frequently use BindingNavigator with the BindingSource component to enable users to move through data records on a form and interact with the records.
How the BindingNavigator Works
The BindingNavigator control is composed of a ToolStrip with a series of ToolStripItem objects for most of the common data-related actions: adding data, deleting data, and navigating through data. By default, the BindingNavigator control contains these standard buttons. The following screenshot shows the BindingNavigator control on a form:
The following table lists the controls and describes their functions.
Returns the total number of items in the underlying data source.
For each control in this collection, there is a corresponding member of the BindingSource component that programmatically provides the same functionality. For example, the MoveFirstItem button corresponds to the MoveFirst method of the BindingSource component, the DeleteItem button corresponds to the RemoveCurrent method, and so on.
