You cannot specify this property in a theme.

<dx:ASPxTitleIndex ID="ASPxTitleIndex1" runat="server">
    <!-- ... -->
</dx:ASPxTitleIndex>
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

Note

For ASPxRichEdit only:

The DataSource property specifies a data source for the Mail Merge feature. The property accepts an object that implements the IList interface. If a bound data source contains multiple data tables, use the DataMember property to specify a data member.
