<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If a <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DataSource.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_DataSource">DataSource</a> contains multiple sources of data, you should set the 
<a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DataMember.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_DataMember">DataMember</a> property to one of the sources.</p>
<p>For example, if the DataSource is a <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.data.dataset">DataSet</a> contains three tables named Customers, 
Orders, and OrderDetails, you must specify one of the tables to bind to.</p>
<p>If the <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.data.dataset">DataSet</a> contains only one <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.data.datatable">DataTable</a>, you may set the 
DataMember property to an empty string.</p>
<p>You can use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.SetDataBinding.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_SetDataBinding_System_Object_System_String_">SetDataBinding(object, string)</a> method to set the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DataSource.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_DataSource">DataSource</a> 
and <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DataMember.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_DataMember">DataMember</a> properties at the same time.</p>
