PickerColumn.DisplayMember Property

Gets or sets the name of a data field that contains values displayed in the drop-down list.

Namespace: DevExpress.XamarinForms.DataGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Grid.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Grid

Declaration

[XtraSerializableProperty]
public string DisplayMember { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	The data source field name.

Remarks

The ItemsSource collection contains values that users can select in the drop-down list. If this collection contains business objects, use the following properties to describe the business object’s data fields:

• DisplayMember — specifies the data field that contains values that are displayed in the drop-down list.
• ValueMember — specifies the data field that contains values that are actually assigned to cells.

Example

In the example below, the ComboBoxColumn is bound to a data field that contains integer values. To display strings instead of integers in the drop-down list, the example uses a business object that combines strings with integers. The DisplayMember and ValueMember properties specify data fields that contain displayed strings and actual integer values.
