[AccessD] Unbound Form Check For Changes

 John --

It all depends of technology (binding source types -  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms743643.aspx )/ORM frameworks ( http://www.frozenelephant.com/List_Of_Dot_Net_ORM_Frameworks.html ) used in back-end-to-UI mapping - as I have noted the automation level of everything including edit collision detection/handling can be from 100% down to 0%.

By "data-driven" applications I mean the class of applications, which were/are usually developed using MS Access. In .NET you can "automagically" bind literally everything to the UI controls without manual coding -  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms743643.aspx . What you get are bound but disconnected from back-end forms/controls. So "the only task" is to retrieve data to be displayed in disconnected bound forms/controls/store changed data to back-end. This "only task" can be 100% automatic (no any manual coding needed) or at any degree - 1% to 100% manually coded - it all depends on what back-end-to-UI mapping technologies a developer/ development team prefer, how much customization freedom they wanted to have in back-end-to-UI mapping.
