Smart Control to Business Object Data Source binding question

Greetings,

I've been reading documentation found here concerning the SmartControl and Business Objects.  I've read about writing typed classes to represent the BO. 

I'm primarily interested in binding the smart control to the CsContact business object.  I see I can accomplish a lot of the coding in conjunction with IBO.net.

I'm just looking for a little clarification on what smart control properties need to be set  in order for the binding to work.   I understand there is a BoundPropertyName

property in SmartControl.  I also see there is a BoundItemName (?) property but this appears to be deprecated.  I'm just looking to use the BusinessContainer, BusinessController, and

BusinessItem classes if possible.   Basically, I suppose I need to know what properties to set in the ascx control and probably how to call to the binding.  It looks like I need to

call the DataBind method of the base class in the control code behind?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much.

Best,

Vince

set the DataSource property on the control first?

I think I have a lead on this......set the Data Source property on the control first?
