The generated columns are of type <b>DataGridCheckBoxColumn</b> for bound Boolean (and nullable Boolean) properties, and of type <b>DataGridTextColumn</b> for bound string data, <b>DataGridComboBoxColumn</b> for bound enum data, <b>DataGridDateTimeColumn</b> for bound date/time data, and <b>DataGridNumericColumn</b> for bound numeric data. Bound undefined data is displayed in a <b>DataGridBoundColumn</b> type column. If a property does not have a String or numeric value type, the generated text box columns are read-only and display the data object's <b>ToString</b> value.</p> <p>You can prevent automatic column generation by setting the <b>AutoGenerateColumns</b> property to <b>False</b>. This is useful if you want to create and configure all columns explicitly. Alternatively, you can let the data grid generate columns, but handle the <b>AutoGeneratingColumn</b> event to customize columns after creation. To rearrange the display order of the columns, you can set the <b>DisplayIndex</b> property for individual columns.</p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
