GridControl.View Property

Gets or sets the grid’s view. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public DataViewBase View { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property View As DataViewBase

Property Value

Type	Description
DataViewBase	A DataViewBase descendant that specifies the grid view used to display data.

Remarks

A DXGrid control does not actually display data itself. It uses a View to display data from the bound data source. A View specifies how records and record fields are arranged.

By default, when the grid is created, it initializes the View property with a TableView object. To display data using a Card View, you should create a corresponding View object and assign it to the View property. To display hierarchical data in a tree, use the TreeListView.
