- Drag the node or variable to either a:
- Property. Drag the node to the value of the property.The reference to the node or variable appears in the property.
- Graphic object. Drag the variable to a graphic object in the editor.Dragging the node creates a dynamic link to the most suitable property of the graphical object. For example, drag a variable to aTextBoxto create a link to theTextproperty and display the value.

TIP:
If the dynamic link does not resolve at design time,
appears before the dynamic link. A dynamic link to a Windows alias may resolve at runtime. If the dynamic link is broken because the linked attribute no longer exists or has been moved,
appears before the link.
