Columns Overview

The DXGrid for Silverlight control displays tabular information in its Views. Data sources present this information using data fields and records. In a Table View, data fields are represented as columns, and records are displayed as rows.

Columns are encapsulated by GridColumn objects. These objects are stored within the grid's GridControl.Columns collection.

#Columns

A column consists of the following elements.

  • A column header that identifies a column. It displays a column's caption and enables an end-user to move and resize the column, apply sorting and filtering, etc. For detailed information on column header settings, see Column Header Settings.
  • Cells that display values from the corresponding field in a data source.
  • A footer cell that displays a total summary(s).
