How to make two columns''s data display in one GridColumnDescriptor

How to make two columns's data display in one GridColumnDescriptor ,I used MappingName="FirstName LastName" but no use.

Hi Strife,

You cannot have two columns 's data display in one GridColumnDescriptor .

To do this, you need to add a unbound column with some unique mapping name, say "ID-Name". (At this point, this will just display an empty column in that position in the grid.) To populate this column, add a grid.QueryCellValue event handler. In the handler have code like this.

int RecordIndex =this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.PrimaryKeySortedRecords.IndexOf(e.Record);
if (e.Field.Name == "ID_Name" && RecordIndex >= 0)
{
string s = e.Record.GetValue("Id").ToString() + "-" + e.Record.GetValue("Name").ToString();
e.Value= s;
}

Please refer to the attached sample for implementation and let me know if this helps.
