Syntax

public abstract class DataSource : Component, ISimpleDataSource, IDataSource, INamedObject, ICloneable, IEquatableDataSource
Remarks

This class serves as the foundation for specialized data source implementations like SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, CsvDataSource, and others. Derived classes must implement specific data retrieval logic while inheriting common functionality for naming, calculated fields, and component lifecycle management. All data source components support calculated fields for custom data transformations and provide standardized interfaces for data binding operations.
