Yes. A control is just a dumb UI object. However, you can enable data
binding by setting two properties: DataSource and DataField. These
determine the object and property, respectively, that the control is
bound to. In the most typical case, 'DataSource' is the same as the
bizobj's DataSource (the form will figure this out at run time), and
'DataField' is the column in the data that the control's Value should
be bound to. Just by setting those two properties you transform a dumb
UI control into a powerful data display/editing tool.
