Usually, data binding is related to the mapping between a model and a user interface, but in general it may concern any synchronized mapping between objects.

Data binding elements

In order to establish a data binding relationship between two objects, we need to define the following elements:

  • Data source object: This is the object that represents the data to be bound, for example, the Model in an MV* context

  • Data source property: This is the property of the data source object that actually contains the data we want to bind

  • Data target object: This is the object we want associate the data to, typically the View in an MV* context

  • Data target property: This is the property of the data target object...
