Definition
The DataBindingProperties object controls how data is bound when the BindData method is called. DataBindingProperties can control the max rows of data per slide, the max total rows of data imported, and the slide to which the data is bound. The BindData method requires a DataBindingProperties object as a parameter. Use the following line of code to create a new DataBindingProperties object.

h5. Using MaxRowsPerSlide to fit data on multiple slides
When this property is set, PowerPointWriter will stop importing data when the limit is reached. In order to import all the data in a data source to your presentation, MaxRowsPerSlide should be used with the _Continue_ modifier. The default value is -1 which indicates that all the data in the data source should be imported to a single slide. For more information see [Importing Multiple Rows of Data] and [Fitting Data on to Multiple Slides].
h2. MaxRowsToImport
[MaxRowsToImport|DataBindingProperties.MaxRowsToImport] determines how many total rows of data to import into a presentation. PowerPointWriter will stop importing data from the data source when this limit is reached. The default value is -1 which indicates that data will continue to be imported until the end of the data source is reached.
