'hide' DataBind method

[dannystommen]

Hi all,

I'm creating a custom control. To show the correct data in this control, I need to set several properties before calling the DataBind method. To prevent that any properties are forgotten, or that someone else doesn't know what properties to set, I want to pass all this information to the databind method.

public void DataBind(int value, string something, double anotherValue) {
  //..
}

This approach works fine so far, but code completion still shows the original DataBind (+1 overload). I tried to override this method, and make it private, but this results in a compiler error ('virtual or abstract members cannot be private').

Is this possible?
