Gets or sets the object from which the data-bound control retrieves its list of data items.

public override object DataSource { get; set; }<DefaultValue(Nothing)>
Public Overrides Property DataSource As Object| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Object | null |
An object that represents the data source from which the data-bound control retrieves its data. |
Assigning a new value to the DataSource property causes a pivot grid update.
The ASPxPivotGrid is also updated when the data source implementing the IBindingList interface raises the ListChanged event of the PropertyDescriptorAdded, PropertyDescriptorDeleted, PropertyDescriptorChanged or Reset type.
If some of the data source field values are custom objects (not numeric or string values), use the PivotGridOptionsData.CustomObjectConverter property to specify a serializer to be used to process them.
The DataSource property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes.
This example demonstrates how to create an ASPxPivotGrid and bind it to data in code.
In this example, the ASPxPivotGrid and System.Web.UI.WebControls.AccessDataSource instances are created and initialized in code. The Pivot Grid is bound to data by assigning the AccessDataSource instance to the ASPxPivotGrid.DataSource property. Then, the ASPxPivotGrid.RetrieveFields method is used to create pivot grid fields for all data source fields.
