Bind to Collections Specified in the ViewModel

You can define collections of grid objects (for example, columns or summaries) in a ViewModel and assign them to the GridControl.

To generate grid objects from a ViewModel collection, specify the Source and Generator properties:

Source: Specifies a collection from which the GridControl generates objects.
Generator: Specifies a template used to generate grid objects.
