Remarks

The grid control displays tabular information in its Views. Data sources present this information using data fields and records. In a Table View, data fields are represented as columns, and records are displayed as rows. In a Card View, records are represented as cards, and data fields are represented as card fields.

Columns and card fields are encapsulated by GridColumn objects. These objects are stored within the grid’s GridControl.Columns collection.

To learn more, see Columns and Card Fields and Creating Columns and Binding Them to Data Properties.
