Property Value

Type	Description
XPDictionary	An XPDictionary the XPBindingSource uses to get XPClassInfo metadata from the type of the data source’s items.

Remarks

The XPBindingSource uses the XPDictionary to get XPClassInfo metadata from the type of the data source‘s items. Set the Dictionary or the ObjectClassInfo property manually when the XPBindingSource uses collections that do not implement the IXPDictionaryProvider interface.

Refer to the DataSource article for additional information on data sources and related limitations.
