All elements except HTML and FileUpload support dynamic database data binding. In other words data extracted from database tables or stored procedures can be used to bind to an element/field. For example, a table containing look up values for a user address can be used to bind to a SelectList element. When a form is displayed data is automatically extracted and displayed on the field and can be selected like a normal field.

For elements that support data binding, the following properties (under the Data-binding tab) are available when creating or editing the element using the Form Designer:

Stored Procedure (DNN): This option indicates that source data comes from a stored procedure that uses the ObjectQualier attribute in DNN.  Stored Procedure (Non-DNN): This option indicate the source data comes from a stored procedure that does not use the ObjectQualifier attribute in DNN
