Finding Database Column Name of a bound textbox

We can bind a textbox to column using this command:

lblCust_ID.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", bsOrder, "CUST_ID", true));

Is there any way to find the database column name after binding it to a textbox. I need to find programmatically that CUST_ID is the name of column which has been bound to lblCust_ID.

Fortunately I found the solution. Here is the answer:

MessageBox.Show(lblCust_ID.DataBindings[0].BindingMemberInfo.BindingField.ToString());

The result is CUST_ID which is the excat column name we have already assigned to lblCust_ID.

thanks

Maybe I don't understand the process.... How is it bound to the textbox to begin with? It has to be bound somewhere, so you shouldn't have to check IF it is bound. :-S
