Property Value

Type Default Description
UnboundColumnType Bound

An UnboundColumnType enumeration value that specifies 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. A TextEdit editor is assigned for the in-place editing of such a column.

Remarks

In v21.1 and higher, the UnboundType property is hidden. Use the GridColumn.UnboundDataType property instead to make a column unbound and specify the column’s data type. Compared to the UnboundType property, the GridColumn.UnboundDataType property can accept any data type (including previously unavailable TimeSpan and DateTimeOffset).

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the UnboundType property.
