name

Specifies the RowSet field to be rendered by the <netui-data:basicColumn> tag. The name attribute specifies which data in the RowSet should be extracted and rendered as a column. The name attribute should match one of the fields in the RowSet schema.

For example, suppose you have the following RowSet schema (located in the RowSet control file), containing four data fields: ITEMNUMBER, ITEMNAME, QUANTITYAVAILABLE, and PRICE.

       <xsd:element name="ITEMNUMBER" type="xsd:int" ...>
       </xsd:element>
       <xsd:element name="ITEMNAME" type="xsd:string" ...>
       </xsd:element>
       <xsd:element name="QUANTITYAVAILABLE" type="xsd:int" ...>
       </xsd:element>
       <xsd:element name="PRICE" type="xsd:double" ...>
       </xsd:element>

The value of the name attribute should match one of the four values: ITEMNUMBER, ITEMNAME, QUANTITYAVAILABLE, or PRICE.

       <netui-data:basicColumn name="ITEMNUMBER" filterable="true" title="Itemnumber" sortable="true"/>
