The Data bindings group holds Data bindings that are generated by the Remote Profile Designer. Each data binding generated by the designer will include a data sink.

The following example shows the Data bindings for the WMP profile:
The TextBoxTrack data binding has been expanded to show the data sink and data source. The TextBoxTrack data sink was generated by the Remote Profile Designer. The WMP Track Name data source was added from the Applications->Windows Media Player->Data Sources option in the Setup panel.
The Close profile command lets the user choose which key on their phone will close the remote profile. View the Command Setup topic for instructions on how to map a key to the command through an Event.
