Remarks

Do not bind multiple columns to the same field in the data base. Only a single column can be bound to a specific field in the database. If you need to create another column bound to the same field, create a new unbound column, set its FieldName property to a unique string. Then, handle the GridControl.CustomUnboundColumnData event to populate this column with the same data as the first column.
