On BarTender's template design, you can name the datasource even though it has database field.
From .net SDK's LabelFormatDocument.Substrings, you can fill the variables.
If the question is to name data source via SDK code, then there's no such options - you have to do that manually.

Prior to BarTender 10.1, named data source was called named substring. That can (only) be defined from BarTender GUI, on template design view (as attached - finally.)
