VERY Cool Winforms Data Binding Helper

Roy has posted a very interesting Custom Attribute class that will simplify WinForms data binding...

[it's] is a simple Custom attribute that you can put on a control instance on the form (TextBox for example) that has some meta-data as to what data binding it will use at run time.

I love stuff like this, it should be simple to convert this to work with ASP.NET controls too.

Note, however, that the class is not optimized and will work pretty slow on forms with lots of controls. I'm working on a better, faster, optimized version as we speak, and will post it up when done.
