The relationship between comodules of a coring and flat connections is reviewed. In particular we specialise to corings which are built on a tensor product of algebra and a coalgebra. Such corings are in one-to-one correspondence with entwining structures, and their comodules are entwined modules. These include Yetter-Drinfeld and anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules and their generalisations, hence all the modules of interest to Hopf-cyclic cohomology. In this way the interpretation of the latter as modules with flat connections [A Kaygun and M Khalkhali, Hopf modules and noncommutative differential geometry, Lett. Math. Phys. 76 (2006), 77--91] is obtained as a corollary of a more general theory. We also introduce the notions of a connection in a comodule and of a bicomodule connection, and show how comodules with flat connections can be interpreted as modules of a C-ring. In this way all the above mentioned Hopf modules can be interpreted as comodules with flat connections.
