GridCustomDataSourceTotalSummaryOptions.SummaryInfo Property

Returns a list of objects that contain information about a total summary to be calculated.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public IReadOnlyList<GridCustomDataSourceSummaryInfo> SummaryInfo { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IReadOnlyList<GridCustomDataSourceSummaryInfo>	A list of GridCustomDataSourceSummaryInfo objects.

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 GetTotalSummaryAsync method:
