Specifies the DataWindow library and object that the Web DataWindow server component will use for generating HTML.
SetDWObjectEx
A separate method name is provided as an alternative syntax
for specifying DataWindow objects in a PBD generated by the Web
DataWindow Component project wizard. Because it is already included
in its own library list property, the PBD component does not take
an argument for a source file name. The generated PBD also includes
a reference to the DataWindow HTML generator that it implements
as an interface.
