Telerik DataGrid for .NET MAUI
Most of the data on the internet is stored in tables within a database. The DataGrid component from Progress Telerik UI for .NET MAUI provides the same abstraction over the data—it has columns and rows, and the intersection of a row and a column is called a cell.
This time, we will learn a little about how to use columns in a .NET MAUI DataGrid! It is very important that you know what type of column is indicated for our Grid so that the added controls make the best possible representation of what is needed in your app. Let’s see the challenge!
What are the approaches you can take to define different columns in the Telerik DataGrid?
Option A:
Manually
Proportional
Auto
Option B:
Mixed
Proportional
Absolute
Option C:
Manually
Automatically
Mixed
Do you already have the answer? Perfect! Please click below to see the solution—here you can see the correct answer and its explanation with supporting materials.
The correct answer is option C! 💥
Manually
Automatically
Mixed
The correct answer is C due to the following points:
There are only three column types, which are: Manually, Automatically and Mixed, so the remaining presented in the options are not valid.
Delving a little into each mode, we have the following uses:
- Manually: It allows you to add the column manually. You just have to add the columns to the RadDataGrid.Columns collection.
- Automatically: It allows you to add the column automatically. You just have to set the
RadDataGrid.AutoGenerateColumns="True", and the columns you need will be auto-generated. - Mixed: It’s a mix of the two points mentioned above. So, you can add both manually and automatically.
