GridOptionsView.Assign(BaseOptions) Method

Copies all settings from the options object passed as a parameter.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public override void Assign(
    BaseOptions options
)

VB.NET

Public Overrides Sub Assign(
    options As BaseOptions
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
options	BaseOptions	A BaseOptions descendant whose settings are assigned to the current object.

Remarks

The Assign method is useful if you need to have the same or slightly different options in several Views. It enables you to set the options once and then copy them to a number of Views.

Most commonly, you will use the Assign method to copy settings from one GridOptionsView object to another. The parameter is the source object. The caller is the destination object.

Note: the parameter can be any BaseOptions descendant. The Assign method copies only those properties that are common to both the source and destination objects. So you could copy a Banded Grid View’s View options to a Grid View. You will, of course, have to pass a BandedGridOptionsView object as the parameter.
