Can you clarify what you mean by 'bound controls'?

I assume he means a visual control that automagically reflects an underlying dataset (and updates it when the control gets updated).

Dave [Brian Braatz] I just need (for work I am doing) an abilty to PLUG something that gets called when the data is changed. This functionality supports making a OS Specific binding mechanism for UI controls.

(yes there is another way to do it- I tend to prefer the "bind it once and then forget it" metaphor)
