I'm confused. The DataGrid uses the dataField in the DataGridColumn to
determine which property in the DTO/VO it is going to get.
If you don't specify any DataGridColumn, the DTO's properties are introspected
and used, but you don't get to control the order and usually the property name
is not really what you want to display in the header ("firstName" instead of
"First Name").

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Alex Harui DataGrid and DTO question
Even if it would be possible, wouldn't it break the model/view seperation? You
are much
more restricted to the data then you are using the "common" way to display data.
- What about formating the displayed data. This would be needed to be done by
the DTO.
- Other orders... without columns not possible.
- displaying complex content... renderer needed and this is something the DTO
shouldn't
care about either.
