| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DevExpress.XtraDataLayout.LayoutElementsBindingInfo | A value that specifies information on layout element binding settings. |
Remarks
When you bind the DataLayoutControl to a specific data source using the DataLayoutControl.DataSource property, the control obtains information on available public properties in the bound data source and automatically builds a layout with appropriate editors.
To obtain the layout column count and binding settings of all public properties in the bound object, use the GetLayoutElementsBindingsInfo method.
Binding settings for all auto-generated layout items and the layout column count can be customized using the DataLayoutControl.RetrieveFields method and DataLayoutControl.FieldRetrieving event.
You can apply specific Data Annotation attributes to a business object bound to a Data Layout control. The Data Layout control will use these attributes to build a layout and adjust item settings. See the Binding to Data Source in Code and Data Annotation Attributes - Building Layout from Business Object topics for more information.
