Remarks

By changing the properties, you affect how controls that refer to the field are displayed. Furthermore, if you override the methods on this class, the behavior on lookup and validation can be modified.

By using the properties on the FormDataObject class instead of properties on the individual controls, you make sure that the various representations of the same field are handled consistently. This also makes upgrades easier.
