DisplayMemberBindingInfo Property

Gets or sets the binding information between a column and its corresponding field in the underlying data source.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DisplayMemberBindingInfo As DataGridBindingInfo

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Column
Dim value As DataGridBindingInfo
 
instance.DisplayMemberBindingInfo = value
 
value = instance.DisplayMemberBindingInfo

public DataGridBindingInfo DisplayMemberBindingInfo {get; set;}

Property Value

A reference to DataGridBindingInfo that provides information about a column's binding to its corresponding field in the underlying data source.

Remarks

Unless the ValidationRules collection is cleared, it will always contain an ExceptionValidationRule and DataErrorValidationRule. If the DataErrorValidationRule is excluded from the collection of validation rules, validation errors reported by IDataErrorInfo will be ignored.

Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to a list of Composer objects, unless stated otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to create a custom ValidationRule and apply it to a column's binding to provide binding-level validation.Implementation of the YearValidationRule validation rule.Implementation of the YearValidationRule validation rule.
