Remarks
You set the AutoGenerateField property to explicitly override the default behavior of the presentation layer.
Use the GetAutoGenerateField method to retrieve the value of the AutoGenerateField property. The GetAutoGenerateField method will return nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the AutoGenerateField property has not been set, but the get accessor of the AutoGenerateField property will throw an exception if the property is not set.
