Hello!

When I create a DataColumn there are two property called
ColumnName and Caption that is called on a DataColumn.
Here is an example.
column.Caption = "Price";
column.ColumnName = "Price";

My question is ColumnName is the Name of the column but what is this Caption
I just test to comment this caption out and I didn't notice any difference.

TOTALLY guessing here but it may be that the Caption property can be used by
certain applications to autopopulate a label when generating a data entry
form from the table on the fly.

Hi,
Caption is the text is going to be printed in the interface,
ColumnMane is the name of the column for when you lookup by name:
table.Rows[0]["ColumnName"]

Hello!

I do understand what you mean here
<ColumnMane is the name of the column for when you lookup by name:
<table.Rows[0]["ColumnName"]

But what do you mean here
<Caption is the text is going to be printed in the interface,

Can you give a simple example ?
