I am building an ArcMap Addin that contains several Windows Forms with controls that need to be bound to a database. I am trying to decide whether or not to use a native SQL Server Database or an SDE Geodatabase.

I would like to link the forms to the features on the map, which suggests I should use the geodatabase, but I have not found anyway to bind geodatabase tables and fields to WinForms controls at design-time.

Has anyone successfully created a Dataset (xsd) in Visual Studio from an SDE Geodatabase?

I tried to do what you are claiming, its quit interesting that.....i came to the conclusion of build some kind of ORM that can conect to the ArcSDE – XtianGIS Oct 5 '12 at 20:05
