Remarks

Use the Text property to specify or determine the caption that is displayed in the buttons of the ButtonColumn object.

Napomena

If you set the Text property, all buttons in the ButtonColumn share the same caption.

Alternatively, you can bind the ButtonColumn to a field in a data source. This allows you to display different captions for the buttons in the column using the values in the specified field. Set the DataTextField property to bind the ButtonColumn to a field in a data source.

The value of this property is stored in view state.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
