GridCustomDataSourceGroupInfo.DataItemCount Property

Returns the number of items in a group.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.Grid.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public int DataItemCount { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32	The number of items.

Remarks

If standard data binding modes do not meet specific business requirements, you can implement your own data provider. To do so, create a GridCustomDataSource descendant and assign it to the Grid or TreeList component’s Data property.

The following code snippet implements a custom data provider’s GetGroupInfoAsync method:
