Data binding for Grid columns defined in code behind
CS
List<Orders> order = new List<Orders>();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BindDataSource();
}
private void BindDataSource()
{
int code = 10000;
// Defining grid columns and populating the lists
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
order.Add(new Orders(code + 1, false, "ALFKI", i + 0, 2.3 * i, new DateTime(1991, 05, 15), "Berlin"));
order.Add(new Orders(code + 2, false, "ANATR", i + 2, 3.3 * i, new DateTime(1990, 04, 04), "Madrid"));
order.Add(new Orders(code + 3, false, "ANTON", i + 1, 4.3 * i, new DateTime(1957, 11, 30), "Cholchester"));
order.Add(new Orders(code + 4, false, "BLONP", i + 3, 5.3 * i, new DateTime(1930, 10, 22), "Marseille"));
order.Add(new Orders(code + 5, false, "BOLID", i + 4, 6.3 * i, new DateTime(1953, 02, 18), "Tsawassen"));
code += 5;
}
// Binding the datasource to Grid object
this.GridControlDefault.DataSource = order;
this.GridControlDefault.DataBind();
}
// Class for binding grid columns
public class Orders
