[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM A579: How to display and edit complex data properties in grid columns]
Hello . Can you explain me a bit more on how it works internally while using something like Person.Adress.Street   .I am plannig  to use on a heavy grid which is updated quite often .But if internall complex binding uses reflection or something similar I will look into some other options on my side to display data so that my performance is not impacted

The standard TypeDescriptorclass is used for binding a data source to the grid control. Reflection is used to obtain the property descriptor depending on your data source type. We have not been informed of any problems in performance caused by the description of complex properties in a grid. Please let us know if you faced any.
Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

      Hello.
      Since your grid should not require additional time to work with complex properties, you don't have to duplicate properties in the base class.
      Let us know if you need any further assistance.
