            grid.AddHandler(DXSerializer.CustomGetSerializablePropertiesEvent, new CustomGetSerializablePropertiesEventHandler(CustomGetSerializablePropertiesHandler));
        }
    
        void CustomGetSerializablePropertiesHandler(object sender, CustomGetSerializablePropertiesEventArgs e) {
            e.SetPropertySerializable(GridColumn.TagProperty, new DXSerializable() { });
        }
    }
