Examples
The following code example gets the PropertyDescriptor of a column in a GridColumnStylesCollection. The second example creates a new DataGridColumnStyle with a PropertyDescriptor.
private:
void GetPropertyDescriptor()
{
PropertyDescriptor^ pd;
pd = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ]->GridColumnStyles[ 0 ]->PropertyDescriptor;
Console::WriteLine( pd );
}
void CreateNewDataGridColumnStyle()
{
GridColumnStylesCollection^ myGridColumnCol;
myGridColumnCol = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ]->GridColumnStyles;
// Get the CurrencyManager for the table you want to add a column to.
CurrencyManager^ myCurrencyManager = dynamic_cast<CurrencyManager^>(this->BindingContext[ ds->Tables[ "Suppliers" ] ]);
// Get the PropertyDescriptor for the DataColumn of the new column.
PropertyDescriptor^ pd = myCurrencyManager->GetItemProperties()[ "City" ];
DataGridColumnStyle^ myColumn = gcnew DataGridTextBoxColumn( pd );
myGridColumnCol->Add( myColumn );
}
private void GetPropertyDescriptor()
{
PropertyDescriptor pd;
pd = dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[0].PropertyDescriptor;
Console.WriteLine(pd.ToString());
}
private void CreateNewDataGridColumnStyle()
{
GridColumnStylesCollection myGridColumnCol;
myGridColumnCol = dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles;
// Get the CurrencyManager for the table you want to add a column to.
CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager = (CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[ds.Tables["Suppliers"]];
// Get the PropertyDescriptor for the DataColumn of the new column.
PropertyDescriptor pd = myCurrencyManager.GetItemProperties()["City"];
DataGridColumnStyle myColumn = new DataGridTextBoxColumn(pd);
myGridColumnCol.Add(myColumn);
}
Private Sub GetPropertyDescriptor()
Dim pd As PropertyDescriptor
pd = dataGrid1.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(0).PropertyDescriptor
Console.WriteLine(pd.ToString())
End Sub
Private Sub CreateNewDataGridColumnStyle()
Dim myGridColumnCol As GridColumnStylesCollection
myGridColumnCol = dataGrid1.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles
' Get the CurrencyManager for the table you want to add a column to.
Dim myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager = CType(Me.BindingContext(ds.Tables("Suppliers")), CurrencyManager)
' Get the PropertyDescriptor for the DataColumn of the new column.
Dim pd As PropertyDescriptor = myCurrencyManager.GetItemProperties()("City")
Dim myColumn As New DataGridTextBoxColumn(pd)
myGridColumnCol.Add(myColumn)
End Sub
Remarks
The PropertyDescriptor for a column is set using the GetItemProperties method of the BindingManagerBase. See the DataGridColumnStyle constructor for an example of using the PropertyDescriptor to create a new DataGridColumnStyle.
