Set InternalColumn Format before data binding

I have a situation with a DataBoundGrid where I set the datasource to an empty datatable object, which I am going to fill using a SQLDataAdapter at a later point in time.

I want to set the Binder.InternalColumns format to a particular format, but it would be nice if I could do it before the DataAdapter fills the DataTable. Is this possible?

Or would it be possible to detect the event when the datatable goes from having no data whatsoever to some data?

Thanks.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion product.

The Binder.InternalColumn format of the GridDataBoundGrid can be set only after the DataSource is assigned with the DataSet.
The properties of column is attained only after the column has some Datas.
The empty cell can be checked before the DataSet is assigned, by using the QueryCellInfo Event.
The event will check whether the cells contains any datas.

Let me know if you have any queries.
