Property Value

Type: System::String
The name of the field bound to the AutoGeneratedField. The default is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.

Use the DataField property to specify the name of the data field to bind to the AutoGeneratedField object. The AutoGeneratedField object automatically displays the values in the appropriate control, based on the Type property. For example, Boolean values are displayed in check box controls, while String values are displayed as plain text.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DataField property to determine the value with which to set the DataField property of an AutoGeneratedField object.
