Property Value

Type Default Description
UnboundColumnType **Bound**

A UnboundColumnType enumeration value that represents the data type and binding mode of the column.

Available values:

Name Description
Bound

Indicates that the column is bound to a field in the control’s underlying data source. The type of data this column contains is determined by the bound field.

Integer

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains integer values (the Int32 type).

Decimal

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains decimal values (the Decimal type).

DateTime

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains date/time values (the DateTime type).

String

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains string values (the String type).

Boolean

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains Boolean values (the Boolean type).

Object

Indicates that the column is unbound and it contains values of any type.

Remarks

Unbound columns are not bound to any field in the data source. These columns must be populated manually by handling the GridControl.CustomUnboundColumnData event.

To make a column unbound, set its UnboundType property to a UnboundColumnType value that corresponds to the type of data the column will display. For example, if the column is supposed to display integer values, set the UnboundType property to UnboundColumnType.Integer. The data type specified by the UnboundType property, determines which editor should be used by default to edit the column’s values.

If the column’s UnboundType property is set to UnboundColumnType.Bound, it’s assumed that this column is bound to a data field in the data source, specified by the column’s ColumnBase.FieldName property.
