#Remarks
Note
The Custom
event fires for unbound columns only.
Add a new data column to the ASPxGridView.Columns collection and set its GridViewDataColumn.UnboundType property to an appropriate value to create an unbound column. This column’s GridViewDataColumn.FieldName property value must be unique and it must not refer to any field in the ASPxGridView’s underlying data source.
When the ASPxGridView is loaded, it raises the CustomUnboundColumnData
event for each cell in unbound columns. This allows you to populate cells with data. By default, the event’s ASPxGridColumnDataEventArgs.IsGetData parameter is set to true
. In this case, you need to supply data for the currently processed cell. Obtain the required value from a custom data source and assign it to the ASPxGridColumnDataEventArgs.Value parameter.
The event’s ASPxGridColumnDataEventArgs.IsSetData parameter isn’t in effect. Handle the ASPxGridView.RowUpdating event to save the modified data back to the data source.
Use the ASPxGridViewColumnDataEventArgs.Column and ASPxGridColumnDataEventArgs.ListSourceRowIndex properties to identify a row and column to which the currently processed cell belongs.
The CustomUnboundColumnData
event argument provides the ASPxGridColumnDataEventArgs.GetListSourceFieldValue method that allows you to get the required cell value.
