Is it possible to bind text property of Label component to Dataset’s particular field column.  
Or an example for how to use custom property which has datatype as Dataset

saish-

{dataset}[row,column]  
You can use row name, column name also.  
I wrapped it with a try statement.

Sample:

```auto
try(
{Root Container.Table.data}[{Root Container.Table.selectedRow},"Col 2"],
"Nothing Selected")
```
