Other than using code to create a ColumnSet, Intersoft Solutions provides a unique designer to let you manipulate your ColumnSet structure easily and conveniently. You can add/remove columns, merge columns using RowSpan and ColSpan property, resize column width, and many other basic functionalities which are required.
As we can see at the ColumnSet picture above, WebGrid.NET Designer can fully support all the needs in creating a ColumnSet.
These are guides to create ColumnSet by using Designer:
- Add a new ColumnSet into the ColumnSet Designer by pressing the "Add ColumnSet" button.
- ColumnSet Designer is divided into 4 windows. They are ColumnSet Layout, Table properties, Column Properties and finally RowLayout Properties.
- ColumnSet layout shows the ColumnSet schema. We can change the layout of the ColumnSet such as length of the column and also choose which column to be added in it.
- To make ColumnSetheader visible or not and to set the ColumnSet RowCount, we can use Table Properties.
- Every Column which has been added into the ColumnSet can be configured in Column Properties. We can set many properties in it from length, ColumnType, Caption, Bound Type, until Styles.
- RowLayout Properties is used to set the Column and Row properties such as Span, Height, Width.
