{param:dataSourceName}The name of the set of data markers at which to insert the values imported from the data source. {{dataSourceName}} must be specified, but can be left as null or an empty string if this is the first data source bound AND the data markers in the template use the [short data marker syntax|http://wiki.softartisans.com/display/EW8/Creating+Data+Markers#CreatingDataMarkers-short] or refer to the datasource by number rather than name. Note: {{dataSourceName}} does not include a data marker's column name, for example, the {{dataSourceName}} for {{%%=Products.ProductID}} is "Products."{param}

{param:property}The [DataBindingProperties|DataBindingProperties] object which contains information about how the data should be bound to the template. {{property}} Must be specified, but the {{DataBindingProperties}} need not be set beforehand. To bind data to a template with the default {{DataBindingProperties}}, pass in {{ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties()}} as the {{property}} value. Otherwise, use the {{ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties()}} method to generate a new {{DataBindingProperties}} object and set the [DataBindingProperties.MaxRows|DataBindingProperties.MaxRows], [DataBindingProperties.Transpose|DataBindingProperties.Transpose], and/or [DataBindingProperties.WorksheetName|DataBindingProperties.WorksheetName] properties for the workbook.{param}

An object to use as the data source.

The names of the columns to get from the data source. If the columnNames parameter is null, field binding can only be performed by ordinal (for example, %%=DSN.#1 or %%=$DSN). If columnNames is specified, both ordinal field binding and named field binding can be used.

The name of the set of data markers at which to insert the values imported from the data source. dataSourceName must be specified, but can be left as null or an empty string if this is the first data source bound AND the data markers in the template use the short data marker syntax or refer to the datasource by number rather than name. Note: dataSourceName does not include a data marker's column name, for example, the dataSourceName for %%=Products.ProductID is "Products."

The DataBindingProperties object which contains information about how the data should be bound to the template. property Must be specified, but the DataBindingProperties need not be set beforehand. To bind data to a template with the default DataBindingProperties, pass in ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties() as the property value. Otherwise, use the ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties() method to generate a new DataBindingProperties object and set the DataBindingProperties.MaxRows, DataBindingProperties.Transpose, and/or DataBindingProperties.WorksheetName properties for the workbook.

BindRowData will throw this exception if null (C#) or Nothing (VB.NET) is passed to the method.
