System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   BaseDataBoundControl Class

Sets or retrieves the ID of the control from which a data-bound control gets its data.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the DataSourceID to specify or determine the ID of a control that represents the data source from which a data-bound control gets its list of data items.

A data-bound control is associated to its data source by setting its DataSourceID property to the ID of the data source control. When the DataSourceID property is set, the data-bound control automatically binds to the data source control at run time.

The following examples demonstrate how the DataSourceID property is used to associate different data-bound controls to a data source control in different scenarios.
