How to freeze particular column in WinForms DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?

Freeze column

In WinForms SfDataGrid, you can freeze the columns in the view at left and right, like Excel by setting the FrozenColumnCount and FooterColumnCount properties. To freeze any specific column, move the column to left or right in the SfDataGrid.Columns collection and insert it at first or last of the collection respectively.

In the example, the ProductName column is froze by moving it to first. To freeze the column at right, add the column at last and set the FooterColumnCount property.

C#

var frozenColumn = sfDataGrid.Columns["ProductName"];
this.sfDataGrid.Columns.Remove(frozenColumn);
this.sfDataGrid.Columns.Insert(0, frozenColumn);
this.sfDataGrid.FrozenColumnCount = 1;

VB

Dim frozenColumn = sfDataGrid.Columns("ProductName")
Me.sfDataGrid.Columns.Remove(frozenColumn)
Me.sfDataGrid.Columns.Insert(0, frozenColumn)
Me.sfDataGrid.FrozenColumnCount = 1

Samples:

C#: FrozenColumn

VB: FrozenColumn
