TDataSource and TDBGrid are not instead of TADODataSet and TADOTable. 
TADODataSet, TADOTable, TADOQuery hold data obtained from table or query, 
but they are not controls (descendants from TControl) and can not display 
data to user. TDataSource is used to link any TDataSet descendant to 
db-aware controls, such as TDBGrid, TDBEdit etc. TDBGrid is visual control 
used to display data from any TDataSet, it does not contain any data, only 
displays them.
