GridView.DataSource

[imee]

hi,
I am using Telerik GridView
while binding it to data source , it doesn't show the DataSource Property ,
how it will show this property,  & what is the difference between DataSource and ItemSource
waiting for reply,

Hi imee,

Can you please specify which version of RadGridView relates to the question.  It is a little bit confusing as our system indicates the post is relevant to RadGridView for Winforms .
Now , both ItemsSource and DataSource properties exist in different versions of RadGridView for different platforms ( e.g. WinForms, Silverlight or WPF and even ASP.NET) . Generally they serve the same purpose.

Please specify exactly which version do you use , so we can provide the appropriate assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks for your concern regarding my query.

The version specification for the controls that im using is 'RadControls for WPF Q2 2009'

Hi imee,

Thanks for using our WPF controls! In the WPF and Silverlight platforms  any items controls e.g. listboxes , comboboxes , datagrids etc. expose the ItemsSource property instead of the DataSource ( more typical to older ADO.NEtT , ASP , and Winforms controls) . Please use the ItemsSource property of RadGridView . You can bind to any IEnumerable collection .

Let me know if you find any troubles.
