Exposing DataAdapter functionality

Hello everyone:

My boss has posed this question to me, and I, not knowing, pose it to
whomever may know the answer. :)

When I have a blank form in my IDE, and I drag a DataAdapter onto it,
the IDE opens up a sort of ad-hoc query builder for me to construct my
SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE queries.

Is there a way to expose that exact functionality to my end users,
given that I specify a table and a connection string?

Thanks much,

zdrakec

I don't know why you would want to provide that functionality to an end user
because not knowing what they're doing they can jeopardize your data.
Anyway, look up command builder.

Thank you Vice:

Well, of course I would establish some limits on my end-users :)

Thank you for the suggestion re: command builder!
