In this chapter, you started writing the restaurants mapping application, which is called Bestaurants. In the first half of the chapter, you spent time learning to use the extending ArcObjects approach which is a bit different from the add-in to create the project that had Bestaurants Toolbar and then added command to it. Then, in the second half of the chapter, you learned about workspaces and workspace factories that helped establishing connection to the geodatabase in order to query it. You then used these skills to query the restaurants and populate them on the form.

In the next chapter, you will keep enhancing the restaurants mapping application to add more functionality to it. You will learn about geodatabase relationships and use them to query related data.
