I'm relatively new to these controls so I hope I'm not asking an old question. I've searched the FAQ's and this forum quickly and didn't find any related posts.

I created a WinGrid based on a .NET dataset. I used the dataset designer in the IDE to create the dataset.  It all came together quite nicely. The question I have has to do with the column names. When referencing columns in a dataset throughout the code it is common to see the column name strings declared as constants and the constant name used in references instead of repeating the literal string. This makes maintenance a little easier.

It would be nice if the designer implementation for WinGrid made use of this, creating the constant strings (if they didn't already exist) and using them in the code it generates.

The current implementation forces WinGrid users to use the literal column name strings or to maintain the column names in both the dataset and in the constant definitions.

Is there a way to make this a little cleaner?
