A system and method for method facilitating design-time data binding of business object(s) and/or web service(s) is provided. Developer(s) can specify their own class(es) that do not require specific inheritance, interface implementation or default public constructors. The system includes a binding component that generates control information associated with control(s) based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with an entity (e.g., object, business object and/or web service). The system further includes a control generator that generates control(s) of a form associated with the entity based upon the generated by the binding component. The binding component can utilize public property(ies) of the entity (e.g., object, business object and/or web service). The entity can represent a hierarchy of objects that drill down (e.g., endlessly), including circular relationships. At design-time, a user (e.g., developer) can drag the root of an object (e.g., a business object and/or a web service) onto a form. Control(s) associated with the form are created by the system based on a schema of the object.
