databinding in ASP.net 2.0

[toptomato]

hi guys,
in asp.net 1.1 one was able to bind web form's TextBox's text property to a datasource. Example: suppose there are 5 different textboxes in a web form. The webform also has a dataset in the designer view, which has a datatable called values, and in that table there is only one row with 5 columns. Then one can easily databind each of the textbox's text property to each of the columns in the datatable of the dataset.
Now is such a thing possible in asp.net 2.0 with datasources since i don't believe you can add a dataset to a webform in the designer view in asp.net 2.0. I could be wrong. Please enlighten me. thanks.

As I pointed out in thread855-1154753, if you set up all of your database connections in code, nothing has really changed - any data binding you used to be able to do, you still can.
