Larry,

No, the articles I posted doesn't do exactly what you want, it was just an example of how to read the DBC and set properties at design time. If you want to do this at runtime then you should put code in you Class.Init() to handle it. You will pay a runtime performance hit that you may want to test before you commit whole-hog to doing it that way. If design time is ok a builder would work fine.
