Question : Need to connect a DataGridView with a database

My WinForms program connects with an Access database in perhaps a hundred different functions, executing various sql queries against the database. But now I'd like to use a DataGridView and make it take advantage of the automatic synchrinization between the DataGridView and the database table. For this, must I open "Choose DataGridView Tasks" then "Choose Data Source"?

The problem I have doing this is that have not configured the connection to the database via Visual Studio, instead using a ConnectionString arguement and dynamically connection to the database.

Can I do it this way with the DataGridView? Or must I set up the connection via Visual Studio?

I have no problem doing so, but:

1) I do not know how
2) I do not want to force myself to go recode all the various connections I make dynamically

Please suggest a path forward.

Thanks,
