Remarks

If the DataSource property contains multiple sets of data, use the DataMember property to specify which set of data to bind to the control. For example, if you have a System.Data.DataSet object with multiple tables, use this property to indicate which table to bind to the control.

After you have specified the data source to bind to the control, you can then specify which fields from the data source to bind to the ListItem.Text and ListItem.Value properties of each item in the control by setting the DataTextField and DataValueField properties, respectively.
