that is unaware of what controls are bound to it.
This option should be used only if you don't have a GUI control that supports virtual mode through a control handler.
Although it allows to use virtual mode with any GUI bound control (with or without a control handler), it should be used with caution,
only if you can't use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Data.DataSource.VirtualModeKind.html#C1_Data_DataSource_VirtualModeKind_Managed">Managed</a> option.
See the &quot;Programming Guide&quot; in the Studio for Entity Framework documentation for more details.</p>
