I love the new DataForm! What I would like to be able to do is do what I do in the DataGrid, which is I create all the fields at runtime and the headers, then I bind the data. I see in the examples, it shows to create a DataTemplate. I guess I could create a DataTemplate at runtime and bind. But is there another way? Basically, when I send an entity to the DataForm (or DataGrid), I read the Column information from a SQL Table as to what the label is, what data type, etc.

Hello Christian Loepp,
I believe the best approach here would be to let RadDataform autogenerate the fields based on your Items Source. Since you mention you need to adjust properties of fields ( such as label ) we have provided a place to do that - the AutoGeneratingField event .
Within the event handler you may do additional settings and even cancel the field if you do not need it.
Kind regards,
