In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, to bind Configuration Manager 2007 console data to a property sheet, you use the DataBindings property of the property sheet's control class.

The DataBindings property is used to bind to the objects in the form's Property Manager. After an object changes, mark the object as changed with SetDirtyFlag This ensures that the object is serialized properly when the dialog box is dismissed.
