# Bind Two Properties to Default Source

**Purpose:** Learn how to bind two properties of a control to its default source.

**Task:** Add a tag to the canvas to create a PVTextBlock, then bind its background property to its default source.

**Steps:**

1. Drag and drop a tag onto the canvas.

2. On the **Animation** panel, change the selected property to **Background**.

3. Notice that the Background property is automatically bound to the default source. In this case, a map converter must be used to map ranges of tag values to a set of colors. Configure this PVTextBlock in the [Use Map Converter to Change Color Dynamically](/v1/docs/use-map-converter-to-change-color-dynamically) tutorial.
