Asp.net generic data binding method for Web UI controls

Question

I am trying to write a generic method that would bind any asp.net UI controls (drop down-list, list box.. etc) Here is how I envision how the method should looks like:

public static void  AnyUIObjectDataBinder(Object anyUIcontrol, int id, string dataTextField, string dataValueField)
{
    anyUIcontrol.DataSource = GetList(id);
    anyUIcontrol.DataTextField = dataTextField;
    anyUIcontrol.DataValueField = dataValueField;
    anyUIcontrol.DataBind();
}

I would love to know if it is possible to have such method that accept any asp.net UI controls and set its binding property?

try as

public static void  AnyUIObjectDataBinder(ListControl anyUIcontrol, int id, string dataTextField, string dataValueField)
{
    anyUIcontrol.DataSource = GetList(id);
    anyUIcontrol.DataTextField = dataTextField;
    anyUIcontrol.DataValueField = dataValueField;
    anyUIcontrol.DataBind();
}
