<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This name does not need to be unique within the containing collection,
and multiple <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.DataBinding.DataSetField.html">DataSetField</a>s may refer to the same DB field.</p>
<p>
Either this property or <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.DataBinding.DataSetField.Expression.html#C1_C1Preview_DataBinding_DataSetField_Expression">Expression</a>, but not both,
should be defined on a <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.DataBinding.DataSetField.html">DataSetField</a>. In case both
properties are defined, this property is used,
and <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.DataBinding.DataSetField.Expression.html#C1_C1Preview_DataBinding_DataSetField_Expression">Expression</a> is ignored.
