Data Specifics

  • Unbound Columns - it is possible to combine bound and unbound data modes. Just add unbound columns and supply data by using an event. End-users can edit the values within unbound columns and the changes can then be saved to a custom data source.
  • Server-side Data Management - has been designed to work with large datasets (consisting of 50,000 records or more). Bound data is not loaded into memory in its entirety. Instead, ASPxCardView loads data in small portions on demand. When the grid starts, it loads and displays the first portion of data from a data store. Then, as an end-user scrolls the grid, when the last record of the loaded subset is reached, the grid requests the data store to return a subsequent data portion.

Data Editing

  • Built-in Edit Modes - ASPxCardView provides two built-in edit modes: editing by using the inline edit form and by using the popup edit form. (See demo: Edit Modes)
  • Data Editors (text box, check editor, date editor, etc.) can be used as in-place within ASPxCardView.
  • Batch Edit Mode - ASPxCardView allows end-users to modify a batch of grid data on the client side and send it to the server in a single request. (See demo: Batch Editing and Updating)
  • Card Validation and Error Indication - ASPxCardView allows you to manually validate an edited card and display error icons for invalid fields.

Data Shaping and Manipulation

  • Automatic Data Sorting - Allows your users to sort the data against an unlimited number of columns, giving them an unprecedented ability to analyze and edit information. (See demo: Sorting)
  • Filtering Capabilities - ASPxCardView provides a powerful data filtering mechanism that allows end-users to easily filter cards using different UI elements, such as the integrated search panel, column headers or the built-in Filter Control. (See demos: Search Panel, Header Filter, Filter Control)
  • Multiple Cards Selection – ASPxCardView supports single and multiple card selection modes. (See demo: Selection)
  • Data Summaries - allow you to present statistical information such as MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM, and COUNT calculated over all the cards in ASPxCardView and display that information in the grid itself. Additionally, you can handle summary specific events to implement complex functions with ease.

Focus and Navigation

  • Built-in Pager - ASPxCardView automatically splits content across multiple pages and provides a built-in pager that enables end-users to navigate through data. (See demo: Pager Settings)
  • Focused Card - ASPxCardView enables end-users to move focus through cards by clicking them. (See demo: Focused Card)
  • Vertical Scrolling Mode - to reduce a grid’s height, you can display its vertical scrollbar and specify the height of the scrollable area.
  • Endless Paging - ASPxCardView supports endless paging mode, which allows cards to be loaded on demand when an end-user scrolls down to the bottom of the control. (See demo: Endless Paging)

Appearance Customization

  • Appearances - A powerful mechanism to control the entire look and feel of the grid. You can customize the appearance of almost any visual element of ASPxCardView and even apply them conditionally to reflect certain states, such as errors. In addition, ASPxCardView ships with a number of predefined themes. These themes allow you to specify its appearance and behavior as your business needs dictate.
  • Templates Technology - Templates are fully supported. For each element inside ASPxCardView, you can completely customize the appearance or layout using any HTML content. (See demo: Card Template)
  • Conditional Formatting - ASPxCardView provides a flexible mechanism to control conditional cell and card formatting.
  • Full CSS Support - ASPxCardView’s appearance can be customized using CSS classes. This approach is the best choice if you need centralized control over the appearance of several controls or the entire site.

Miscellaneous

  • Cross-Browser Compatibility - Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Apple Safari, etc. ASPxCardView is cross-browser compatible.
  • Rich Client-Side Functionality - A comprehensive client-side API is available for ASPxCardView. This functionality, which is then coupled with the ability to handle events on the client side, allows you to have full control over the grid’s behavior on the client side.
  • Client-Side Events - ASPxCardView exposes a rich set of client-side events. These events are executed on the client side and have been engineered to maximize performance.
  • Cookies Support - ASPxCardView control fully supports cookies, allowing your site’s visitors to personalize pages as needed. If cookies are enabled, every possible end-user customization option is saved and then restored in future sessions.
  • Save and Restore Layout - ASPxCardView allows you to save the information on its layout to a database, and then restore it.
  • Built-in Export - ASPxCardView allows you to export its data as a PDF, RTF, CSV, XLS, and XLSX. When the grid exports data in XLS and XLSX formats, the DevExpress Excel Export Engine maintains a data grouping layout and automatically transforms summary items to corresponding Excel functions. (See demo: Exporting to PDF, XLS, XLSX and RTF, Export with Format Conditions, Export Selected Records )
  • SEO Support - ASPxCardView allows you to make its pager SEO-friendly.
