Use data sources to separate the user interface from the application data and to remove the dependencies between a Kanzi Studio project and the application code which define the Kanzi application.
Kanzi allows you to define the format and structure of your data source by defining a Kanzi Engine data source plugin.
When you use a data source in a Kanzi application you bind the values of properties and property fields to data that comes from a data source. This binding establishes a connection between a node or a resource and the application data. When data in the data source changes, the nodes and resources which are bound to the data reflect the change in the data.
To set a node to use a data source, use the DataContext.DataContext property. When you set the Data Context property for a node, all its child nodes inherit the value of the Data Context property. After you set a node to use a data source, you can use bindings to access the data.
