An IEnumerable that represents the data source used to create the control hierarchy.

dataBinding: Boolean

true to indicate that the control hierarchy is created directly from the data source; false to indicate the control hierarchy is created from the view state.

Returns

Int32

The number of items created from the data source.

Remarks

The CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean) method is a helper method called by the FormView control to create the control hierarchy for the FormView control. When the dataBinding parameter is true, data binding is performed before the control hierarchy is created.

When extending the FormView class, you can override this method to create your own control hierarchy.
