Design Time
The ASPxGridView control is available on the DX.24.2: Data & Analytics toolbox tab in the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.
Drag the control onto a form and customize the control’s settings, or paste the control markup in the page’s source code.

ASPxGridView grid1 = new ASPxGridView();
grid1.ID = "grid1";
Page.Form.Controls.Add(grid1);
grid1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
grid1.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource1";
grid1.KeyFieldName = "ProductID";
grid1.Columns.AddRange(new GridViewDataColumn[]{
new GridViewDataColumn { FieldName="ProductID", ReadOnly = true, VisibleIndex = 0},
new GridViewDataColumn() { FieldName = "ProductName", VisibleIndex = 1 },
new GridViewDataColumn() { FieldName = "UnitPrice", VisibleIndex = 2 },
});
}
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:
<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:
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();
...
Database Server Mode
The grid supports database server mode. In this mode, the grid loads only required items to the server memory and implements data-aware operations (for example, filtering) at the database level.
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:
<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:
<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>
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);
}
}
Columns Management
The grid control displays data in a table format. Data sources provide data as fields and records. The grid control displays data fields as columns and records - as data rows.
Resize Columns
You can resize a column header to modify the column’s width (SettingsResizing).
<dx:ASPxGridView ID="grid" runat="server" ...>
...
<SettingsResizing ColumnResizeMode="Control" Visualization="Postponed" />
</dx:ASPxGridView>
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.
<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.
<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.
<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>
Data cell bands (Columns) allow you to display a data record hierarchically. Specify the CellRowSpan and CellRowSpan properties to arrange a column header and data cells in a data cell band layout.
<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" ...>
<Columns>
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="Address">
<Columns>
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="Features">
<Columns>
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="Beds" />
...
</Columns>
</dx:GridViewDataColumn>
...
</Columns>
</dx:GridViewDataColumn>
</Columns>
</dx:ASPxGridView>
Fixed Columns
The grid allows you to fix columns on the left side and display these columns onscreen when the columns’ total width exceeds the grid width. Enable the horizontal scrolling (HorizontalScrollBarMode) and set a column’s FixedStyle property to Left to fix the column.
<dx:ASPxGridView ID="Grid" runat="server" ...>
<Columns>
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="ContactName" Width="150" FixedStyle="Left" />
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="CompanyName" Width="180" FixedStyle="Left" />
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="City" Width="130" />
<dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="Region" Width="80" />
...
</Columns>
<Settings HorizontalScrollBarMode="Visible" />
<Styles>
<FixedColumn BackColor="LightYellow" />
</Styles>
</dx:ASPxGridView>
Truncate Cell Text
The grid can truncate cell (‘…’) values if they don’t fit the cells width ( AllowEllipsisInText).
<dx:ASPxGridView runat="server" Width="100%" ID="ASPxGridView1" ClientInstanceName="sampleGrid" ...>
<SettingsBehavior AllowEllipsisInText="true"/>
...
</dx:ASPxGridView>
