The Type Arguments Cannot be Inferred from the Usage

• Jul 18, 2023

The Data Grid, ComboBox, List Box, TagBox, and ComboBox Column includes the DataAsync property. It allows you to bind the component to a strongly typed collection that is loaded asynchronously.

The following exception occurs if you declare the DataAsync function with an incorrect signature:

The type arguments for method ‘TypeInference.CreateDxComboBox_0<T>’ cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.

To resolve the issue, ensure that the function signature meets the following requirements:

• The type of the returned value is Task<IEnumerable<T>>.
• The function has a parameter of the CancellationToken type.

    public Task<IEnumerable<City>> GetDataAsync(CancellationToken ct = default) {
