Vista - The 4 data access coomponents

- Could someone help me with the concepts of the four Data Access components
in VS 08. By four I'm referring to the four that appear upon dragging a
table (from Server Explorer) onto the form - four components plus the
Navaigator appear.
1. TableAdapterManager
2. TableAdapter
3. Dataset
4. BindingSource
and BindingManager

- For a help example, I desire to query a field using a textbox and its'
text. As best as I can tell, one creates a new dataset to hold the results,
then filters the full dataset with the query, resulting in the selected rows
being in the created dataset.
- Then what? Do I set the BindingSource to my filtered dataset? Are there
better ways? This has me stumped due to using VS03 up until a month ago. I
prefer not to query the "hard" source (using the dataAdapter) but rather the
cached source (the current dataset)
- If one could give a concise overview of the functionalities of the 4-5
data components, such would be greatly appreciated.

Thank All Very Much!
