Thank you for you tip.

However what I am looking for is a way to make the same livebinding connection 
with datasets in a different way, maybe manually assigning the values to 
each control.

I was looking to see if someone already made that or have any library around 
with that capability.

Livebinding works, but it is slow and do not let me control when I want to 
load data in parallel by a thread

Maybe, I'm off topic, but I tell you what I use.
I'm connecting to MySQL databases directly with MyDAC, have you ever heard of them?
I'm filling the listviews manually and I also do the filtering manually.
Therefore it's more flexible for me, I can do my own filtering stuff.
It works well on slower connections too, it even has a disconnected mode for slow connection.
What I'm saying is maybe you can give it a try.
