BandBase.ColumnGeneratorTemplate Property

Gets or sets a template that describes grid columns. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v19.1.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public DataTemplate ColumnGeneratorTemplate { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property ColumnGeneratorTemplate As DataTemplate

Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplate	The column template.

Remarks

The grid’s band can be bound to a collection of objects containing column settings, described in a Model or ViewModel. The GridControl generates columns based on column templates. Using a single template, you can create an unlimited number of columns in an unlimited number of grid controls.

To choose the required template based on the column’s type, use the template selector assigned to the BandBase.ColumnGeneratorTemplateSelector property. If all grid columns can be described using a single template, you have no need to create a column template selector. Instead, assign this template to the grid’s ColumnGeneratorTemplate property.
