Binding to Data

The GridControl is a data-aware control designed to display data in a tabular format or card layout. The GridControl cannot operate without a data source. It can be bound to data from a database, an XML file, or any data created at runtime. The grid can be bound to any object that implements the System.Collections.IEnumerable interface or its descendant (e.g., IList, ICollection). To bind the grid, you should assign a data source to the DataControlBase.ItemsSource property.
