PropertyDefinitionBase.Path Property

Gets or sets the path to the database field associated with current property definition. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.PropertyGrid

Declaration

C#

public string Path { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Path As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A String value that specifies the name of a data field.

Remarks

The Path property specifies the path relative to the parent definition.

A collection property that is bound to a null object is not shown within the property grid.

Note

Do not bind multiple properties to the same field in the data base. Only a single property can be bound to a specific field in the database.

The asterisk * character works as a placeholder for a property name. A property definition whose Path contains a placeholder has a lower priority than a definition with an explicit Path.
