Property Value

Type: System::String^

A String that contains the name of the column. The default is an empty string ("").

This property represents a formal name associated with the column that can be used to identify the column in a collection. For example, the Remove and Contains methods of the DataGridViewColumnCollection class use the Name property. The name is case-insensitive. The DataGridView will treat column1 and COLUMN1 as the same column.

The following code example shows how to set the column name.
