Specify and format a data source field in a DataGrid
When creating or editing a DataGrid, use the
Simple Data Field column (called a bound column in ASP.NET) to specify
which data source field to display, and the data format the field
uses with a .NET formatting expression.
In the DataGrid dialog box, select the Simple
Data Field column in the Columns box.
In the Simple Data Field dialog box, enter a title for
the grid’s header or footer rows. (Displaying a header or footer
row for a DataGrid is controlled by the DataGrid Property inspector.)
Select a DataSet column with which to populate the DataGrid
column from the Data Field pop‑up menu.
Select the Read Only option to specify that the DataGrid
does not allow add, update, or delete privileges.
From the Submit As pop‑up menu, select a data type, and
click OK.
