Hi all,

I am using the toolstrips control but I do not know what the functions of the control. I did not know the how to link the toolstrip to detect the data from the database?
Hope that anyone can help.

Thanks.

What are you trying to do exactly?

You cannot bind a toolstrip to a database (at least that I know of).

Here is some documentation on using the ToolStrip control:

Hope this helps.

Hi DeborahK,

Anyway thanks for the solution that you have gave me.

Hi LiL_Is,

Based on my understanding, you want to change some Items' text or dynamically add new item(delete old item) according to the database change. Am I guess right?

I think you can use a Timer.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.timer.aspx
Handle the Tick event of the timer to do database check, for example, check database every 5 second. When the data is change, you can update the toolstrips.

Hope this helps you too.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
