# Input for WinForms Tutorials

Learn about the different WinForms tutorials for Input.

## Content



The tutorials assume that you are familiar with programming in Visual Basic.NET, know what a DataSet is, and generally know how to use bound controls. The tutorials provide step-by-step instructions—no prior knowledge of C1Input is needed. By following the steps outlined in this chapter, you will be able to create projects demonstrating a variety of C1Input features, and get a good sense of what C1Input can do and how to do it.

The tutorials use an Access database, C1NWind.mdb. The database file C1NWind.mdb is in the **Common** subdirectory of the **ComponentOne Samples** program folder and the sample projects are in the **C1Input** subdirectory of the **ComponentOne Samples** installation directory.

If you have the **Northwind** database installed in a different location, you can change the connection string, or copy the C1NWind.mdb file to the required location.


> type=note
> **Note**: If you are running the pre-built tutorial projects included in C1Input installation, please be aware that the projects have the sample database location hard coded in the connection string: **Documents\\ComponentOne Samples\\Common​\\C1NWind.mdb**
