ASPxGridLookup.AutoGenerateColumns Property

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(true)]
public bool AutoGenerateColumns { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Property AutoGenerateColumns As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true to automatically create columns for all fields in the underlying data source; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The AutoGenerateColumns property specifies which field’s data is rendered by the editor’s built-in ASPxGridView. By default, this property is set to true. This forces the editor to render each field from the data source as a column. The order of columns is the same as the order of fields in the data source.

You can also manually control which columns are to appear in the dropdown ASPxGridView, by setting the AutoGenerateColumns property to false. In this case, you should manually add columns to the ASPxGridLookup.Columns collection.
