ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

BoundColumn

Synopsis

The BoundColumn class represents the default type of column used in a DataGrid control. A BoundColumn is “bound,” or linked, to a specific field in a data source. It provides a DataField property that specifies the field used from the data source for the column’s content. As with all ASP.NET data binding, the “bind” is in one direction: from the database to the output control.
