Can I bind a property directly to a setting?

Given, for example, a component (a control, let's say) with some property
X, can I bind that property to an application setting Y
(Properties.Settings.Default.Y) in the designer somehow?

I've tried playing around with the data binding stuff, but it appears to
strictly require some actual database source. If this is possible, I
haven't found the magic incantation to get it to work.

Thanks,
Pete

To bind the target must support a specific interface (idatasource if memory
serves me correctly).

So, is there a way to create an item in Properties.Settings.Default that
implements that interface?
