Setting the Simple Data Field dialog box options
The Simple Data Field column (referred to as a bound column in ASP.NET) lets you specify which data source field to display, and the data format the field will use with a .NET formatting expression.
To set the Simple Data Field dialog box options:
- The Title text box lets you insert a title into the grids 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.
- Click the Read Only checkbox to specify that the DataGrid does not allow add, update, or delete privileges.
- Select a data type from the Submit As pop-up menu.
- Click OK.
