Moving Cells in the Designer

Cells can be moved between sections, within a template, to another template within a project, or to a template being used in another solution. Moving a cell in the designer is similar to moving controls on a form in the Form Designer.

Cell name (Cell.Name property value) changes automatically if the same cell already exists at the location it is being moved to.
ColumnHeaderCell, CornerHeaderCell, and FilteringTextBoxCell can be moved to column header or column footer only. RowHeaderCell can be moved to rows only.
