HI *,
my UI application will display data fetched from a known database / table.
The table content will be modified by another process - assume the rows will be only added to the table during the application run.
So I decided to implement a kind of polling for this.
I know the table name and the database schema. What is the best way to do following:
* on the very begin of the application I will read the content of the table and display this (chart, grid, etc.)
* periodically I will get a modified table and update my UI (with a newly added rows)
What is the best way to implement this?
Thank you

Hello, Rostislaw,
Most of the data controls in the Telerik UI for WinForms suite support data-binding. Hence, you can create an appropriate DataSource collection, e.g. DataTable, populate it with the extracted data from your external source and apply this DataSource to the respective control, e.g. RadGridView. Then, periodically you can fetch the data from your database and update the DataTable set as DataSource for the RadGridView for example.
You can refer to the following help articles which will give you more information about binding RadGridView:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/populating-with-data/databinding-radgridview

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/populating-with-data/updating-the-database-with-ado.net
RadChartView also supports data-binding. Additional information on this topic is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/chartview/populating-with-data/binding-to-datatable
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
