The ListControlDataBindingHandler class performs design-time data binding of a ListControl control. The ListControlDataBindingHandler class is referenced by the ListControl using the DataBindingHandlerAttribute class.

The DataBindControl method performs the design-time data binding.

This section contains two code examples. The first one demonstrates how to derive a control from the RadioButtonList control and associate it with its data binding handler. The second one demonstrates how to the derive a class from the ListControlDataBindingHandler class.

The following code example shows how to derive the SimpleRadioButtonList control from the RadioButtonList control, and then apply the DataBindingHandlerAttribute attribute to associate the SimpleRadioButtonList control with its data binding handler, the SimpleRadioButtonListDataBindingHandler class.

    ' The SimpleRadioButtonList is a copy of the RadioButtonList.
    ' It uses the SimpleRadioButtonListDesigner for design-time support.

The following code example shows how to derive the SimpleRadioButtonListDataBindingHandler class from the ListControlDataBindingHandler class. It overrides the DataBindControl method to add a message to the associated SimpleRadioButtonList control when that control is data bound.
