Bootstrap Controls for ASP.
The Grid View control supports data binding in server mode, which is designed to work with large datasets. Using this binding mode, the data-aware operations (sorting, filtering, grouping, etc.) are performed on the data server. This technique significantly improves the Grid View’s speed and responsiveness.
The BindToLINQ method is used to establish server-mode data binding using the Entity Framework (EF) Core ORM. The following code demonstrates the described functionality in detail.
@model IQueryable<Email>
@(Html.DevExpress()
.BootstrapGridView<Email>("grid")
.KeyFieldName(k => k.ID)
.Columns(columns => {
columns.Add(c => c.From);
...
})
.Routes(routes => routes
.MapRoute(r => r.Action("Binding").Controller("GridView")))
.BindToLINQ(Model)
