As soon as this property is changed from false to true, a unique constraint will be created on this column to make sure that values are unique.

The following example creates new DataColumn, sets its properties, and adds it to a table's columns collection.

private void AddColumn(DataTable table)
{
    // Add a DataColumn to the collection and set its properties.
    // The constructor sets the ColumnName of the column.
    DataColumn column = new DataColumn("Total");
    column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal");
    column.ReadOnly = true;
    column.Expression = "UnitPrice * Quantity";
    column.Unique = false;
