Sets an IEnumerable as a data source to bind to template data markers.

public void BindData(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable dataSource, System.String dataSourceName, DataBindingProperties property)

Public Sub BindData(ByVal dataSource As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable, ByVal dataSourceName As String, ByVal [property] As DataBindingProperties)

The IEnumerable collection to use as the data source.

The name of the set of data markers at which to insert the values imported from the data source. 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. To bind data to a template with the default DataBindingProperties, pass in PowerPointTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties() as the property value.

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