Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true to enable the smart columns generation feature for the column; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the IsSmart property is set to true, the grid automatically configures the column according to Data Annotations and the DevExpress Fluent API specified in the underlying data source. To learn more, see Applying Data Annotations.

Note

The smart column generation mechanism ignores column binding converters. When using column binding converters, set the IsSmart property to false.
