Control 
Definition
Controls are user interface elements you add to a tile to enable a user to interact with a mobile client application during runtime. Controls can be bound to data sources or unbound.
· Bound control: A bound control is associated to the property of a business object or business query and displays the value of that property in the tile.
The Name field control is associated with the Name property of the Customer business object. At runtime, the field displays the customer name.
· Unbound control: This type of control is not associated to a data source. It is used to manipulate the user interface independently of the underlying data logic. Unbound controls are associated with pushbuttons and the pushbutton label indicates the action performed when chosen.
Button controls are always unbound controls.
Use
Controls include the checkboxes, radio buttons, and text input fields that allow the user to enter a search term, start a search, or read data displayed in a screen. You write event handlers to define the behavior of a control when it is activated.
For a pushbutton to perform a specific task when the user chooses it, you write an OnClicked event handler for the pushbutton.
