ASPxDataViewBase.CustomJSProperties Event
Enables you to supply any server data that can then be parsed on the client.
Namespace: DevExpress.Web
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web
Declaration
Event Data
The CustomJSProperties event's data class is CustomJSPropertiesEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Properties | Gets a collection of temporary client properties. |
Remarks
In some instances, it is necessary to obtain server information on the client. The CustomJSProperties event enables you to declare temporary client properties. Once declared, a property can be accessed on the client.
To add new properties, use the event parameter’s CustomJSPropertiesEventArgs.Properties property, which represents a collection of property names and their values. The only requirement is that property names must begin with the ‘cp’ prefix, to avoid rewriting the ASPxDataViewBase‘s base properties.
Note
Typically, using a specifically introduced ASPxDataViewBase.JSProperties property might be more convenient and efficient than handling the CustomJSProperties event, which is mostly declared for backward compatibility.
Concept
How to Access Server Data on the Client Side
Example
This example demonstrates how to implement a kind of an image gallery with an image preview.Image thumbnails are displayed by ASPxDataView that is used in Flow layout mode. In this mode, image thumbnails flow one after another, to fill the available page area within the browser window in the best possible way. When hovering a thumbnail, ASPxPopupControl is invoked to display a large (zoomed) image. During zoomed image loading, ASPxPopupControl displays a thumbnail image enlarged to the zoomed image size.The specificity of this example is that image previews are displayed with the help of a single ASPxPopupControl that is dynamically linked to multiple invoker elements via client code. The client SetPopupElementID method is used to associate ASPxPopupControl with multiple instances of a thumbnail image element placed within ASPxDataView's ItemTemplate.From this example, you can also learn how to dynamically generate two images - thumbnail and preview - from an original image and how to apply a watermark to a large preview image.
