Remarks

Use the DataMember property to specify a member from a multimember data source to bind to the list control. For example, if you have a data source with more than one table specified in the DataSource property, use the DataMember property to specify which table to bind to a data listing control.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
