AutoGeneratedField.DataType Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the data type of the values displayed in an AutoGeneratedField object.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.TypeA Type that represents the data type of the value displayed in an AutoGeneratedField object. The default is String.
Use the DataType property to specify the data type of the values displayed in an AutoGeneratedField object. The data type determines what type of control is rendered in an AutoGeneratedField object to display the value. For example, a check box control is displayed when the type is Boolean.
The following example demonstrates how to use the DataType property to specify the data type of the field values when programmatically creating an AutoGeneratedField object in a custom control that derives from the DetailsView control.
