{remarks}A {{DataBindingProperties}} object is required for each [SetDatasource|PowerPointTemplate.SetDataSource] call.  Hence, [CreateDataBindingProperties|PowerPointTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties()] must be called at least once in any PowerPointTemplate project that binds data to a template.

The same {{DataBindingProperties}} object can be used for multiple data binding method calls.

          //--- Create a DataBindingProperties object to be used
          //--- in a data binding call
          DataBindingProperties dbp = ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties();
          xlt.SetDataSource(values, names, "DataSource1", dbp);
