Columns in RadGridView can be pinned which will result in the pinned columns being anchored to the left or right side of the grid. To pin a particular column, set its IsPinned property of the Columns collection item to True. This will pin the column to the left size of RadGridView. In order to change the position where the column should be pinned you have to use the PinPosition property of the particular column and choose a value from the provided enumeration. The code block below shows pinning the third column (called “FirstName) in the RadGridView:

Copy[C#] Pinning a single columns

radGridView1.Columns[2].IsPinned = true;
radGridView1.Columns["FirstName"].IsPinned = true;

Copy[VB.NET] Pinning a single columns

Me.RadGridView1.Columns(2).IsPinned = True
'or you can use
Me.RadGridView1.Columns("FirstName").IsPinned = True

In order to pin the column to the right side of RadGridView consider the following code snippet:

Multiple column pinning is also possible. Simply set either the IsPinned property or the PinPosition property for all columns that you want to pin:

Copy[C#] Pinning multiple columns

radGridView1.Columns["Photo"].PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left;
radGridView1.Columns["FirstName"].PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left;
radGridView1.Columns["LastName"].PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left;

Copy[VB.NET] Pinning multiple columns

Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Photo").PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left
Me.RadGridView1.Columns("FirstName").PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left
Me.RadGridView1.Columns("LastName").PinPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.PinnedColumnPosition.Left

Note
All pinned columns appear in the selected pinned section ordered by their original column index in the Columns collection. After pinning multiple columns you can drag each of them to the desired position in the pin section.
