DataFieldName vs DataSourceField
posted

What is the difference between these two properties? When I should use the DataSourceField?

So far I have used only the DataFieldName, but IntelliSense also shows DataSourceField (of type DataField) so I was wondering what is the purpose of that. I didn't find any documentation about it.

    Hello,

    DataSourceField references a DataField from the Aikido's data binding
    framework. The object contains information about original data field
    (the one from the data source). Using it you can get reference to actual
    field object off the data source - DataFieldItem, also some other info
    like original name and type.
