Can you bind Property Grid to a data source?

[Jay]

I was wondering if you can bind the property grid to a dat source like SQL table or microsoft access table?
If so can you show me an example. I have an access table with 6 columns and about 100 rows. I know a gridview is what i shoudl use but i want to use a property grid view.
ID - uniqueID
ParentID - correlates to which ID to group with
Order - order of group
Decs - description of what it is screen display
Type - type
Value - value
example
ID   ParentID   Order      Desc   Type  value
1        0              0           Gen    CAT
2        1              0           help    bool    true               
3        1              1           num    int       7
4        0              1           Dogs   CAT
5        4              0           Labs    int      2
6        5              0           Yellow  int      1
7        5              1           Black   int      1

so the property grid would look like this.
-General
    Help             true
    num              7
-Dogs
   -Labs            2
       Yellow       1
        Black       1
would this even be possible?

Hi Jay, 

You can bind the Property Grid to a an object, multiple object or add custom properties via a Property Store. Have a look at the documentation here. 

Hope this helps, but feel free to ask any other questions if you have them
Thanks

Hello Jay and Richard,

Thank you for writing.

Please, refer to the attached sample project for a sample implementation of a similar case. To achieve your scenario you have to fill the data in a data table and via a custom type and property descriptors to show it into a RadPropertyGrid. There are two limitations, however:
-  you cannot group on more than one level
-  you cannot nest properties inside each other

I hope this will be useful for you. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
 
Kind regards,
