Simple solution for basic binding in Windows Forms app. This would NOT be recommended if you are using ASP .Net, Silverlight, WCF, RIA or any other services to retrieve the data as these project types have much better support for binding to controls.

C#:

static class dataaccess {
static mytype object;
}

//on app load
object = new mytype();

//on form load
tbField1.DataBindings.Add("Text", dataaccess.object.property, "Field1")
