32 // Apparently this attribute is used in place of our BINDING_CONTAINER control mask bit,
33 // which makes sense as in certain scenarios (e.g. TemplateControlAttribute naming a
34 // container type which cannot be used for two-way binding) the check must be made on type,
37 // This interface is briefly mentioned in:
38 // http://www.developmentnow.com/g/10_2006_6_0_0_776419/DataBinding-to-SubProperties.htm
40 // For a sample of why this is needed, see:
42 // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.templatepagerfield.pagertemplate.aspx
43 // The C# code on the above page won't work without this interface being implemented and
44 // used in ControlBuilder.BindingContainerType. The reason why the sample wouldn't work is
45 // that the TemplatePagerField.PagerTemplate property carries a custom TemplateContainer
46 // (typeof (DataPagerFieldItem)) attribute and, without INonBindingContainer interface
47 // attached to DataPagerFieldItem, mono would generate code with the Container and
48 // BindingContainer referring to DataPagerFieldItem. In such case, attempting to access
49 // DataPager properties would obviously fail. Looking at the MS.NET generated code,
50 // Container and BindingContainer are of the DataPager type in this instance.
