 # Copy and paste
 
-Copy and paste is a fundamental way for users to exchange data between apps or within an app. This article shows you how to implement copy and paste in WinUI and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps using the clipboard APIs. You'll learn how to copy, cut, and paste data, track clipboard changes, and use the [DataPackage](/uwp/api/Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataPackage) class to handle different data formats.

 Your app can connect directly to a SQL Server database and then store and retrieve data by using classes in the [System.Data.SqlClient](/dotnet/api/system.data.sqlclient) namespace.
 
 ## Getting started
 
-In this guide, we'll show you one way to do that in your Windows App SDK apps. If you install the [Northwind](/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/sql/linq/downloading-sample-databases) sample database onto your SQL Server instance, and then use these snippets, you'll end up with a basic UI that shows products from the Northwind sample database.

 [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/index.html) provides a reliable, lightweight database solution for storing data locally in Windows apps. Unlike traditional database systems that require separate server installations and complex configurations, SQLite runs entirely within your application process and stores data in a single file on the user's device.

 Data binding in WinUI 3 apps lets you efficiently connect controls to data sources. Learn how to bind a control to a single item or a collection of items, control item rendering, implement details views, and format data for display.

 Data binding connects your app's user interface to its data, creating a dynamic relationship that keeps your UI responsive. In Windows apps, data binding establishes a clear separation between the data layer and presentation layer, improving code organization and making your app easier to maintain and test.
 
-Windows apps support two primary data binding approaches: the [{x:Bind} markup extension](/windows/apps/develop/platform/xaml/x-bind-markup-extension) and the [{Binding} markup extension](/windows/apps/develop/platform/xaml/binding-markup-extension). You can use either approach individually or combine them within the same app. The `{x:Bind}` extension, available in Windows App SDK and UWP apps on Windows 10 and later, offers better performance and compile-time validation.
