Preview column layout?

[Bob]

Is there any way to preview the size of my columns rather than having to run my app every time I make a change?

Hello Bob,

Yes, there is a special designer for the RadGridView to make your settings at design time.  The Property Builder can be invoked using the grid's smart tag.

Please, follow this link to the on-line documentation topic about Property Builder: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/grid_property-builder.html

That's great - just want I'm looking for.

A followup though - I'm not binding this to a data set or object.  Instead, I'm adding & deleting rows programatically.  So how can I temporarily bind it so I can still preview some sample data in the Property Builder?

[Georgi]

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately, if you don't bind the RadGridView to a DataSet or DataTable (or any instance that supports ITypedList interface), previewing sample data is not available. In your case, you could try to set up a binding source and bind the grid at design time to it.

 
All the best,
