After loading your business object with data from the database, there are several ways to interact with the data through EasyObjects.NET.

---

Method 1 - Strongly-typed properties

1. Automatically generated for you in your business object.
2. Matches the database type to a native language type.

Employees obj = new Employees(); // Load a single row via the primary key obj.LoadByPrimaryKey(18); obj.FirstName = "John"; obj.LastName = "Doe"; obj.HireDate = DateTime.Now;

---

Method 2 - The 's_' Properties

1. Automatically generated for you in your business object.
2. The property get accessor converts the column value from the native type to a string. A null value is automatically converted to an empty string.
3. The property set accessor converts the incoming string value to the native type. An empty string is automatically converted to DBNull.Value.
4. Ideal for binding to user interface elements, such as labels and textboxes.
5. Dates are formatted using the StringFormat property of the base class.

Employees obj = new Employees(); // Bind data elements obj.LoadByPrimaryKey(18); txtFirstName.Text = obj.s_FirstName; txtLastName.Text = obj.s_LastName; txtHireDate.Text = obj.s_HireDate;

---

Method 3 - MoveNext and Rewind

1. Used to loop through all the rows stored in the business object.
2. Rewind resets the enumerator back to the first row.
3. Any filters applied are respected when changing the enumerator. 

Employees obj = new Employees(); // Load all the rows in the table obj.LoadAll(); // Give everyone a raise do { obj.Salary *= 1.1; } while (obj.MoveNext()); // Reset to the beginning obj.Rewind();

---

Method 4 - Filter

1. Works the same as the RowFilter property on ADO.NET's DataView.
2. Can be used to temporarily hide rows stored in the business object.
3. MoveNext will not iterate over filtered rows.

Employees obj = new Employees(); // Load all the rows in the table obj.LoadAll(); obj.Filter = "State = 'OH'"; // Give everyone in Ohio a raise do { obj.Salary *= 1.1; } while (obj.MoveNext());

---

Method 5 - DefaultView

1. Used for DataBinding operations with databound controls, such as the DataGrid or ComboBox.

Employees obj = new Employees(); // Load all the rows in the table obj.LoadAll(); // Bind to list box lstEmployees.DataSource = obj.DefaultView; lstEmployees.DataTextField = EmployeesSchema.LastName.FieldName; lstEmployees.DataValueField = EmployeesSchema.EmployeeID.FieldName; lstEmployees.DataBind();
