    Parameters

    groupName
    An object representing the name of the group to verify.

    Remarks
    The DataGridCollectionView has been optimized to make use of DataGridGroupDescriptions to group the items in the underlying collection through a Hashtable rather than through the NamesMatch method. For this reason, the NamesMatch method has been sealed to prevent users from implementing custom name-matching criteria, which would be ignored by the DataGridCollectionView.
