Examples

The following code example prints the PropertyName value of each Binding for each control on a form.

private:
   void PrintPropertyNameAndIsBinding()
   {
      for each ( Control^ thisControl in this->Controls)
      {
         for each ( Binding^ thisBinding in thisControl->DataBindings )
         {
            Console::WriteLine( "\n {0}", thisControl );
            // Print the PropertyName value for each binding.
            Console::WriteLine( thisBinding->PropertyName );
         }
      }
   }

private void PrintPropertyNameAndIsBinding()
{
   foreach(Control thisControl in this.Controls)
   {
      foreach(Binding thisBinding in thisControl.DataBindings)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("\n" + thisControl.ToString());
         // Print the PropertyName value for each binding.
         Console.WriteLine(thisBinding.PropertyName);
      }
   }
}

Private Sub PrintPropertyNameAndIsBinding
    Dim thisControl As Control
    Dim thisBinding As Binding
    For Each thisControl In Me.Controls
        For Each thisBinding In thisControl.DataBindings
            Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.CrLf & thisControl.ToString)
            ' Print the PropertyName value for each binding.
            Console.WriteLine(thisBinding.PropertyName)
        Next
    Next
End Sub

Remarks

Use the PropertyName to specify the control property that you want to bind to a list in a data source. Most commonly, you bind a display property such as the Text property of a TextBox control. However, because you can bind any property of a control, you can programmatically create controls at run time using data from a database.
