Note

DevExpress controls require that you register special modules, handlers, and options in the Web.config file. You can change this file or switch to the Design tab in the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE to automatically update the Web.config file. Note that this information is automatically registered if you use the DevExpress Template Gallery to create a project.

Data Binding

The ASPxGridView works only in bound mode. You can bind the grid to any standard data source type: SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource, and SiteMapDataSource.

Use the KeyFieldName property to set a data source’s key field name. The DataSourceID and DataSource specify the data source’s ID and the data source object, respectively.

ASPxGridView.DataSourceID:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="ASPxGridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" KeyFieldName="ProductID" >
</dx:ASPxGridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
    ConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\nwind.mdb;Persist Security Info=True" 
    ProviderName="System.Data.OleDb" 
    SelectCommand="SELECT [ProductID], [ProductName], [UnitPrice], [UnitsInStock] FROM [Products]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

ASPxGridView.DataSource:

C#

SqlDataSource dataSource1 = new SqlDataSource(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
    Data Source=|DataDirectory|\nwind.mdb;Persist Security Info=True", 
    "SELECT [CategoryName] FROM [Categories] WHERE ([CategoryID] = @param)");
dataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@param", selectedItemID);
dataSource1.ProviderName = "System.Data.OleDb";
dataSource1.ID = "DataSource1";
...
gridView.DataSource = dataSource1;
gridView.KeyFieldName = "CategoryID";
gridView.DataBind();
...

VB.NET

Dim dataSource1 As SqlDataSource = New SqlDataSource("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
Data Source=|DataDirectory|\nwind.mdb;Persist Security Info=True", "SELECT [CategoryName] FROM [Categories] WHERE ([CategoryID] = @param)")
dataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@param", selectedItemID)
dataSource1.ProviderName = "System.Data.OleDb"
dataSource1.ID = "DataSource1"
...
gridView.DataSource = dataSource1
gridView.KeyFieldName = "CategoryID"
gridView.DataBind()

Unbound Columns

The grid control supports unbound columns that are not bound to any data source field. Use the CustomUnboundColumnData event or specify the UnboundExpression property to populate an unbound column with data.

GridViewDataColumn.UnboundExpression:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" DataSourceID="ProductsDataSource" KeyFieldName="OrderID" >
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="UnitPrice" />
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="Quantity" />
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="Discount" />
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="Total" UnboundType="Decimal" 
            UnboundExpression="UnitPrice*Quantity*(1-Discount)" />
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

ASPxGridView.CustomUnboundColumnData event:

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" DataSourceID="ProductsDataSource" KeyFieldName="OrderID" OnCustomUnboundColumnData="Grid_CustomUnboundColumnData" >
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="UnitPrice" />
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="Quantity" />
        <dx:GridViewDataSpinEditColumn FieldName="Discount" />
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="Total" UnboundType="Decimal" />
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

C#

protected void Grid_CustomUnboundColumnData(object sender,
    ASPxGridViewColumnDataEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Column.FieldName == "Total") {
        decimal unitPrice = Convert.ToDecimal(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("UnitPrice"));
        int quantity = Convert.ToInt32(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Quantity"));
        decimal discount = Convert.ToDecimal(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Discount"));
        e.Value = unitPrice * quantity * (1 - discount);
    }
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub Grid_CustomUnboundColumnData(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ASPxGridViewColumnDataEventArgs)
    If e.Column.FieldName = "Total" Then
        Dim unitPrice As Decimal = Convert.ToDecimal(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("UnitPrice"))
        Dim quantity As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Quantity"))
        Dim discount As Decimal = Convert.ToDecimal(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Discount"))
        e.Value = unitPrice * quantity * (1 - discount)
    End If
End Sub

Move Columns

The grid control supports drag-and-drop functionality that allows you to move a column to the desired position. You can use the AllowDragDrop property to allow end users to move all grid columns or a column’s Settings.AllowDragDrop property to enable drag and drop for an individual column.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="ASPxGridView1" runat="server" ...>
    ...
    <SettingsBehavior AllowDragDrop="false" />
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="ProductName" VisibleIndex="0" />
        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="QuantityPerUnit" VisibleIndex="1">
            <Settings AllowDragDrop="True" />
        </dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>
        ...
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>

Use the ColumnMoveMode property to move columns and bands between hierarchy levels.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="ASPxGridView1" runat="server" ...>
    <SettingsBehavior ColumnMoveMode="ThroughHierarchy" />
    ...
</dx:ASPxGridView>

Header and Data Cell Bands

The grid control allows you to organize columns in logical groups (bands) and display them in multiple rows.

Header bands (GridViewBandColumn) organize grid columns into logical groups and display hierarchical multi-row headers.

ASPX

<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server"... >
    <Columns>
        <dx:GridViewBandColumn Caption="Order">
            <Columns>
                <dx:GridViewBandColumn Caption="Company">
                    <Columns>
                        <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn FieldName="CompanyName" Caption="Name" />
                        ...
                    </Columns>
                </dx:GridViewBandColumn>
            ...
            </Columns>
        </dx:GridViewBandColumn>
    </Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>
