In This Topic
    FieldName Property (ColumnBase)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the case-sensitive field name that uniquely identifies the Column in a grid's ColumnCollection.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Property FieldName As String
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As ColumnBase
Dim value As String
 
instance.FieldName = value
 
value = instance.FieldName
    public string FieldName {get; set;}

    Property Value

    A string representing the field name that uniquely identifies the Column in a grid's ColumnCollection. By default, this is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    System.InvalidOperationExceptionThrown when the Column's FieldName property is set after the Column has been added to a grid's ColumnCollection.
    Remarks

    Note that when sorting and/or grouping data items, the name of the data item's property and the value of the FieldName property must be identical; otherwise, neither sorting nor grouping will work.

    Also note that since version 6.7 of the DataGrid, a Column's FieldName cannot & should not be changed once it is set.
