We have a lot of controls that wrap Infragistics controls. We do this so we can apply custom formatting in one place and it can apply it to every where else in the system. I noticed in the control binding manager it only allows for windows, devexpress and Infragistics controls. Can you bind to a custom control in the same way that other controls bind?
