<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If null is returned, the cell will not be recycled, therefore the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Grid.GridControlAdapter.CreateCell.html#C1_WPF_Grid_GridControlAdapter_CreateCell_C1_WPF_Grid_GridControlRange_System_Object_">CreateCell(GridControlRange, object)</a> method will be called for every rendered cell.
Notice this will affect the performance negatively.</p>
