View
A grid control cannot represent data itself. Data is represented by grid Views, while the grid control is a container for them. A grid View is an object capable of retrieving data from a data store to represent it in a particular form (Table View, Banded Table View, Card View, Layout View, or Chart View).
For instance, the Card View enables you to arrange a database as a set of cards, each of which is a database record, while the Table View provides a standard tabular database representation (each database record corresponds to its table row). To display data in a more logical manner, table columns can be arranged in bands with the help of the Banded Table View. The Chart View allows you to visualize data using various diagrams which represent values in the form of data markers.
The View type determines the set of grid View elements available within a grid View. You can change the visibility of these elements to visualize data in the most convenient and user-friendly manner.
