Existing grids' bands and columns change when adding properties to the datasource
posted

Hello,

I've been working with the UltraGrid for a while. We have many grids in our forms, binded to a "BusinessObject" (BO) class through a BindingSource instance.

The problem is every time we add a new public property or collection to the BO they pop-up in the existing grids as visible columns or bands. I have more than 20 grids, so everytime BO changes I have to manually check every grid and hide the column or the band. That's very tedious and error prone.

I can not add the Browsable(false) attribute to the new properties because I do want to be able to bind them to new grids.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks.

    The best solution I can think of off the top of my head is to have a common routine somewhere that each grid calls into (perhaps from InitializeLayout), which handles the hiding of the that column. This will reduce code bloat and the likelihood of a coding error.
