Binding to Data

The GridControl is a data-aware control designed to display data in a tabular format or card layout. The GridControl requires a data source. You can bind the GridControl to data from a database, an XML file, or any data created at runtime. It supports data binding to any object that implements the System.Collections.IEnumerable interface or its descendant (e.g., IList, ICollection). Assign a data source to the DataControlBase.ItemsSource property to bind the GridControl.
