How to: Use DXGrid in Server Mode with Entity Framework 4.0+
- 2 minutes to read
This is an example of using the GridControl in Server Mode, bound to Entity Framework 4.0+ classes. It uses the EntityServerModeSource data source. The example fetches data from the Northwind database on a local SQL Server. You can also use the corresponding demo code to generate a large data set, if currently, you don’t have a large database for testing.
