Public PropertyColumnsGets the columns.  
Public PropertyHasColumnsTrue if the GroupFields has columns in its Columns collection, otherwise false  
Public PropertyHasHeaderReturns true if there is a header caption object. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.GridField)
Public PropertyHeaderGets the GridFieldCaption object that is assigned to the header. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.GridField)
Public PropertyHiddenOverridden. Makes the field to be rendered hidden to the browser. The field's visibility can be triggered from both server and client side.

Public PropertyRowSpanInteger value determines how many rows this header will span.  
Public PropertyTypeType of the items in the field. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.ControlDataField)
Public PropertyVisibleIndexVisible index of field. When setting visible index it acts like an insert and it modifies all other indexes. VisibleIndex should be set starting from 0, then 1, etc. It is recommended this property to be set after the fields have been created. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.GridField)
Protected Properties
 NameDescription
Protected PropertyAdditionalClientState (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected PropertyCollectionData (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected PropertyDelayLoadingClientCollectionsCustomizes the client collections loading. If true the collections will be loaded after view state has been loaded. If false the collections will be loaded in RunBot.HandleOnInit. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)

It also stores the TransactionLists for the Properties, Objects, and Collections. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodLoadClientStateFromViewStateChecks to see if ClientState was saved into Viewstate, if so, then it loads. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)

Protected MethodSaveClientObjectsOverridden. Saves all objects that should go to the client into a javascript array.  
Protected MethodSaveClientPropertiesOverloaded. Overridden. Saves any additional properties to be brought to the client.  
Protected MethodSaveClientStateToViewStateIf the control is not visible, we don't want to loose our ClientState during the next postback, so lets store it in ViewState. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodSaveCollectionsStateToViewStateSaves the client collections state as string into the view state. This way we can skip the expensive serialization on the client side and not send them at all. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)

Protected MethodTrackViewStateOverridden.   
Protected MethodWriteAdditionalClientPropertiesIf an object needs to render additional information that needs to be accessed on the client, this is where they can add this information. Note that each object that they need to render should be prefixed with a Comma because the information is being rendered inside of a javascript array. This method is called by WriteClientProperties (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodWriteClientCollections (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodWriteClientObjects (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodWriteClientOnlyPropertyStores the property in hashtable, that will be rendered down to the client. Client only properties only get sent down to the client, they do not get sent back to the server. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodWriteClientProperties (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
Protected MethodWriteClientStateResponsible for rendering javascript array of all client properties, events, objects and collections Calls helper methods to render each in turn. That method is called to render parameter for initialization (constructor) java-script function. (Inherited from Infragistics.Web.UI.Framework.ObjectBase)
