About the Field Chooser

The FieldChooser control allows your end users to change the visibility of fields in the DataPresenter controls at run time. The FieldChooser control displays a list of field headers along with check boxes. Your end users can toggle a check box next to a field header or they can drag field headers in/out of the FieldChooser control to toggle the field’s visibility. In addition, if you are binding your DataPresenter control to a hierarchical data source, the FieldChooser control will allow your end users to select a field layout from a drop-down list.
