# Items Source Configuration Wizard | WPF Controls | DevExpress Documentation

The [Items Source Configuration Wizard](/WPF/16553/whats-installed/items-source-wizard) is a common way to bind data-aware DevExpress controls (such as the [GridControl](/WPF/DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.GridControl), [TreeListControl](/WPF/DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.TreeListControl) or [PivotGridControl](/WPF/DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.PivotGridControl)) to a data source. This wizard allows you to establish a connection to various types of data sources such as ADO.NET DataSets, SQL databases, OLAP cubes, etc.
