I certainly switch a component's datasource at runtime - not frequently but
it serves me well when I want a datalabel to show one field in one instance
of an object but another field in another instance. In this case my
instances deal with data in a similar but not exact fashion and the
datasource e.g. in one is pointing to detail records and in another to
summary record datasets.

just an example
