 ## Defining DisplayMember and ValueMember

-[DisplayMember](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_DisplayMember) denotes the path to a value on the data object for visual presentation of the selected object in editor and [ValueMember](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_ValueMember) denotes the path to a value on the data object for [SelectedValue](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_SelectedValue). 
+- **[DisplayMember](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_DisplayMember)**: Specifies the property name to display in the text editor when an item is selected. This is what the user sees in the closed dropdown.


This is value displayed to the user when the dropdown is in its collapsed state.
Use the above sentence instead of this "This is what the user sees in the closed dropdown."

+- **[ValueMember](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_ValueMember)**: Specifies the property name to use as the [SelectedValue](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.SfMultiColumnDropDownControl.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_Grid_SfMultiColumnDropDownControl_SelectedValue). This is typically used in data binding scenarios to capture the actual selected value.

-Refer [here](http://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/sfmulticolumndropdown/data-binding) to know more about the `DisplayMember` and `ValueMember`.
+**Example:** If `DisplayMember="OrderID"` and `ValueMember="OrderID"`, selecting an order shows its OrderID in the editor and returns that OrderID as the SelectedValue.


For Example, we use the different properties for Display and value member.

-Above mentioned GetSalesData method is used to get the collection that needs to be populated in the pivot grid control. Now, bind the collection to the pivot grid control as its ItemSource. It can be done through XAML or code-behind.
