Hi,

postgres supports arrays as column data. Is there a best practice to generically bind the grid to data tables that contain for example string[] columns?
If yes, is filtering and sorting supported by RadGridView without having to write custom code?
Currently I resorted to using array_to_string(column) in my SQL, but that leads to potentially very long / wide columns.

Regards
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

RadGridView can not bind directly to a list or array with string[] values. The control discovers and binds to public properties of an object and this is the normal binding behavior. To support this functionality, you must implement ITypedList interface like DataView implementation for example. The sorting, filtering and grouping operations are internally processed in RadGridView and do not depend on an external data source object. They must work in all your cases.
