Value Property (UltraGridGroupByRow)

Value common to all the rows in this GroupByRow (for the associated column)

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Value As Object

C#

public object Value {get;}

Example

Following code shows you how to group rows with a custom group-by code. It groups rows by the first two characters of the company name field. It implements IGroupByEvaluator interface and assigns an instance of it to the GroupByEvaluator property of ContactName column and then groups rows by it.
