The dataMember parameter can be null, in which case the GetListItemProperties method will return property descriptions using the data source and the PropertyDescriptor array.
GetListItemProperties is useful when the data member has properties that are a collection of items and you need to know properties of the item type in the collection, not the properties of the collection type.
