, data and information objects of the same language, but different logic function are bound together (e.g.,
Java UI elements to Java objects).
In a data binding process, each data change is reflected automatically by the elements that are bound to the data. The term data binding is also used in cases where an outer representation of data in an element changes, and the underlying data is automatically updated to reflect this change. As an example, a change in a
TextBox
element could modify the underlying data value.
