The ButtonColumn class represents a type of column
that can be used in a DataGrid control. This
column consists of buttons that raise the
DataGrid.ItemCommand event. These buttons can be
displayed as graphical push buttons (like Button)
or text links, depending on the ButtonType
property.
The Text property determines what text is
displayed for the button, while the CommandName
property specifies a string of additional information that will be
sent to the DataGrid.ItemCommand event through the
DataGridCommandEventArgs object.
If you set the Text and
CommandName properties, all buttons in the column
will share the same information. Alternatively, you can set the
DataTextField property to use data binding and the
DataTextFormatString property to specify
formatting rules.
