Remarks
Implement this interface when you want to bind to objects with dynamically generated properties. This is useful to avoid errors that occur when attempting to bind to property names that cannot be resolved until run time. It is also useful when you use controls (such as DataGrid with AutoGenerateColumns set to true) that automatically generate user-interface elements based on the structure of bound objects. For example, you can use this interface to generate bindable objects from XML data with a schema that is known only at run time.
