How to populate a database in WinForms GridControl?
Populate a database

this.gridControl1.PopulateValues(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1, 1, gridControl1.RowCount, gridControl1.ColCount), CreateTable());Me.gridControl1.PopulateHeaders(GridRangeInfo.Cells(0, 1, gridControl1.RowCount, gridControl1.ColCount), CreateTable())
Me.gridControl1.PopulateValues(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1, 1, gridControl1.RowCount, gridControl1.ColCount), CreateTable())The output is as follows:

Note:
Edited values are not committed to the data source here because you can populate only the data values in GridControl.
