DataType Property

Returns the column's underlying data type. This property is read-only for bound columns.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property DataType As Type
public Type DataType {get; set;}
Remarks

You can use this property to determine what type of data from the data source is expected or supplied by the field that is bound to the column. DataType values correspond to the standard data field types available through the data provider.

When this property is set to 136 (DataTypeChapter), the Hidden, Locked, Width, MinWidth, MaxWidth, and Selected properties are ignored for the column.

This property cannot be set to 72 (DataTypeGuid) or 136 (DataTypeChapter) for unbound columns.

Example
IsBound indicates whether a column is a bound column or an unbound column. Bound columns are the columns that come from the bound data source. Unbound columns are the columns that you add to the ColumnsCollection returned by Columns property of the UltraGridband. Following sample code shows you how to add an unbound column and then loops through all the columns printing out whether each of the columns is a bound column or unbound column.
