Data Binding and Backend Services (OData)Locate this document in the navigation structure

You use data binding to bind UI controls to the model, which holds the application data, so that the controls are updated automatically whenever application data is changed. The data binding is also used when changes in the control cause updates in the underlying application data, such as data being entered by a user. The ODataMetaModel offers a unified access to both OData Version 2.0 metadata and Version 4.0 annotations.
