Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DataDisplayTextField As String

value = instance.DataDisplayTextField

public string DataDisplayTextField {get; set;}

Property Value

String containing the display text

Remarks

If the DataDisplayTextField is a non-empty string, the DataDisplayTextField will be used to display the text for the cloud item. If the DataDisplayTextField property is null or empty string, the DataTextField will be used to display the text for the cloud item.

If the DataDisplayTextField property is used, the DataTextFormatString property will not be used. If the DataTextField property is used, the DataTextFormatString will be used to format the string to be displayed.

The DataItemDataField property is used to associate a value with a cloud item.

Example

This example binds the cell.

private DataSet CreateData()
{
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("ID", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Keyword", Type.GetType("System.String")));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Weight", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));

    dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, ".net", 52 });
    dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, "ajax", 22 });
    dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 3, "css", 34 });

    ds.Tables.Add(dt);
    return ds;
}
