In the next major version of DXperience, v2011.1, XtraGrid is going to be gaining some more intelligence in Server mode. From that version onwards, unbound grid columns can be populated with data using expressions. In server mode. With the expression being evaluated on the server, not on the client.
The expression you write (or your end-user writes) can reference other columns and use many different functions and operators. Here’s an example of the Expression Editor being invoked at run-time on an unbound column in an instance of an XtraGrid running in server mode.

There’s more new WinForms sneak peeks coming. Stay tuned.
