DateTime datatype displays as date drop down by default

[Charles Carlin]

I have a SQL database and I am binding a grid dynamically to a number of different views/tables. All of the tables have a column called "last_update". This column is a datetime stamp. However the grid control automatically fills the column with a date picker drop down. How do I get this to just be a display of the date time coming from the database (it is not editable anyway).

Code Snippet:

grid.BeginUpdate();
grid.Text = sTable;
dockingManager1.SetDockLabel(grid, sTable);
grid.DataSource = dv;
grid.Tag = nType.ToString();
grid.Model.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Row(0));
grid.Model.ColStyles["last_update"].CellType = "Static";
grid.Model.ColStyles["last_update"].CellValueType = typeof(DateTime);
grid.Model.ColStyles["last_update"].Format = "s";
grid.Model.HideCols["id"] = true;
grid.EndUpdate();

You can turn off this default behavior by setting this property:

  grid.Binder.AutoInitCellTypes = False
