Use this method to bind data from a source to a server control. This method is commonly used after retrieving a dataset through a database query. Most controls perform data binding automatically, which means that you typically do not need to call this method explicitly.

This method is commonly overridden when you create a custom templated data-bound control. For more information, see How to: Create Templated User Controls and Developing Custom Data-Bound Web Server Controls. When called on a server control, this method resolves all data-binding expressions in the server control and in any of its child controls.
