First, this is the wrong newsgroup. Please use
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet.
Yes, you can create business classes that provide the data interfaces for
your custom data source. You can even write a data provider to do so. I
would buy Rocky Lhotka's "VB.NET Business Objects"--it should clear things
up nicely.

> I am converting my C application to .NET.  I intend to make heavy use of
Windows Forms (and eventually XAML).  I have a very simple but homegrown
"database" that consists of essentially flat files (with no relations
between the files).  I would like to take advantage of the neat IDE features
of .NET (forms) development (those that expose the column names) and the
inherent data binding methods by providing a .NET compatible interface to my
data (allowing access and update sort of automatically).  I am reasonably
comfortable with COM.  Where should I look for information on which
interfaces I must implement?.  Is there sample code out there to lessen my
task?
