The following figure illustrates the user interface for the application. Based on the category that a
user selects in the Category list, the application returns a paged RecordSet object containing the
qualifying customers from the database. The application uses the RemotingConnector to bind
the data in the RecordSet object (ID, Active, Name, and Total Sales) to the corresponding
columns in the data grid. The Customer Detail section of the user interface displays a logo and
descriptive text about the customer that is currently selected in the DataGrid component.
