Binding data to the DevExpress ASPxGridView control refers to the process of connecting a data source (such as a database table, an XML file, or a collection of objects) to the grid, enabling the control to display and manipulate the data. This process involves mapping fields from the data source to columns within the grid. For example, a column named “ProductName” in the grid might be linked to the “ProductName” field in a SQL Server table.
Establishing this data connection provides numerous advantages, including simplified data presentation, automated data updates, and enhanced data manipulation capabilities within web applications. Historically, manual methods of populating grid controls with data were cumbersome and prone to errors. The capability to perform this action programmatically significantly improves developer efficiency and application maintainability.
