Class GridBoundColumnsCollection

Represents a collection of GridBoundColumn objects in the GridDataBoundGrid control.

Inheritance

System.Object

GridBoundColumnsCollection

Implements

System.Collections.IList

System.Collections.ICollection

System.Collections.IEnumerable

System.ICloneable

Namespace: Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid

Assembly: Syncfusion.Grid.Windows.dll

Syntax

public class GridBoundColumnsCollection : BaseCollection, IList, ICollection, IEnumerable, ICloneable

Remarks

On the GridDataBoundGrid you access the GridBoundColumnsCollection through the GridBoundColumns property.

The GridBoundColumnsCollection uses standard Add(GridBoundColumn) and Remove(GridBoundColumn) methods to manipulate the collection. Use the Contains method to determine if a specific property value exists in the collection.

Additionally, use the IndexOf method to determine the index of any GridBoundColumn object within the collection.
