Cell level data types

[Scott Michetti]

Hello, is it possible using MVVM to have different data types in a single column? I would want one cell to be string, another to be numeric, and another to be a dropdown etc. Or possibly use 1 datatype(String), but have different editors in each cell. Your new spreadsheet control may be a better solution, but it may be some time before it is done, and if this can work using the GridView, I'd use that.

Thanks
Scott

Hi,

Unfortunately such a requirements goes far beyond RadGridView's core concepts. Basically, RadGridView is designed to process all of the column cells' values as instances of a same type. You can have strings, numerics etc simultaneously as they all derive from System.Object, but this will disable all of the data-shaping operations (sorting, grouping etc). You will also need some custom type-casting mechanism. I would personally try RadSpreadSheet instead.

Kind regards,
