SourceColumn property

Specifies the name of the column being mapped in the data source.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property SourceColumn As String

C#
public string  SourceColumn { get; set; }

Property value

A string specifying the name of the column in the data source or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the SourceOrdinal has priority.

Remarks

The SourceColumn and SourceOrdinal properties are mutually exclusive. The most recently set value takes priority.

Setting the SourceColumn property causes the SourceOrdinal property to be set to -1. Setting the SourceOrdinal property causes the SourceColumn property to be set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

It is an error to set SourceColumn to null or the empty string.
