	<description>
		If the data in the host DataTable changes, the FixedColumns must be updated to reflect this new data. This method provides the ability, simply redrawing the fixed columns with the latest data in the DataTable.

		In future this will be automated once DataTables added events for table update actions, but at the moment this method must be called.
