Bind Grid View to Data

• Feb 26, 2024

The ASPxGridView control can operate only in bound mode. Otherwise, it will not display any data. You can bind ASPxGridView to any standard data source type including: SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource, and SiteMapDataSource.

ASPxGridView also supports Database Server Mode - a data binding mode that is specifically designed to work with a large data source: more than 50,000 records. Data is loaded in small portions, and data-aware operations are performed on the server-side to allow quick access to data, even if data is sorted, grouped, filtered, or summarized.
