First, boundto is a property of other base classes like a textbox and could be misleading to anyone else looking at the program.. I would suggest changing the property name.

To assign the object reference

This.BoundTo = Thisform.OtherTextField (or whatever the object name is).

Just make note that before the "othertextfield" object can be released (as when a form closes), you must first release the This.BoundTo value. Otherwise the dangling object reference will prevent the form from closing.
