Remarks

When you bind an object to the CurrentItem property, the DataLayoutControl generates a layout (DataLayoutItems with embedded editors) to display and edit the bound object’s public properties.

If the new and old values of the CurrentItem property have the same type, the layout is not regenerated. The DataContext of generated items is only updated.

When the CurrentItem object’s value is changed or a new layout is generated, the DataLayoutControl.CurrentItemChanged event fires.

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the CurrentItem property.
