Also, controls are not limited to bizobjs for their DataSource. Try
taking a textbox and setting its DataSource to "self.Form", and its
DataField to "Caption". Now type something in it, and then tab out of
the control. The textbox will faithfully flush() its Value to its
DataSource/DataField; in this case, the form's Caption changes
accordingly.
