uComponents - Data List

The idea is to have a provider-based property-editor for various data list types. To have a separation between the UI (editor control) and the data-source. e.g. a DropDownList shouldn't care where the data comes from, only that it's available and consistent.

Data List (types of)

DropDownList
CheckBoxList
AutoComplete
Templatable List
