Remarks

Set the GridViewDataColumn.UnboundType property to a specific data type to create an unbound column. Populate unbound columns in the designer or use the ASPxGridView.CustomUnboundColumnData event or the UnboundExpression property. The Expressions section describes the expression syntax.

Expressions do not allow you to save data entered by end users. For this purpose, use the ASPxGridView.CustomUnboundColumnData event to provide data for unbound fields.
