Exercise: Creating a basic DataGridView for showing mortgage types
A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!
| 1) | Create a new form called frmMortgageTypes. |
| 2) | Add a datagridview on to your form to show records from the MortgageType table (you will need to have already done the previous exercise on creating an SQL Server Express database). |
| 3) | Format this datagridview - if you want a guide, here is a suggestion to try things out: |

On all Wise Owl scheduled courses delegates can take away these model answers (together with their own efforts!) on a free USB stick.
