UnboundSource Class
A data source used to supply and obtain a typed list of objects to data-aware controls in unbound mode.
Namespace: DevExpress.Data
Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v17.2.dll
Declaration
[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(ResFinder), "Bitmaps256.UnboundDataSource.bmp")]
[ToolboxTabName("DX.17.2: Data & Analytics")]
public class UnboundSource :
Component,
IListSource,
ISupportInitialize
Remarks
To use the UnboundSource component, drag it to the form from the DX.17.2: Data & Analytics tab of the Visual Studio Toolbox. You can also add and configure an UnboundSource with the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
To setup the UnboundSource‘s list and its columns, use the UnboundSource.Properties property.
Handle the UnboundSource.ValueNeeded and UnboundSource.ValuePushed events to obtain data from your data storage and save modified data back.
unboundSource1.ValueNeeded+= unboundSource1_ValueNeeded;
unboundSource1.ValuePushed+= unboundSource1_ValuePushed;
//...
void unboundSource1_ValueNeeded(object sender, DevExpress.Data.UnboundSourceValueNeededEventArgs e) {
e.Value = something; /* Assign the real data here.*/
}
void unboundSource1_ValuePushed(object sender, DevExpress.Data.UnboundSourceValuePushedEventArgs e) {
something = e.Value; /* Propagate the value into the storage.*/
}
Use the UnboundSource methods (UnboundSource.Add, UnboundSource.Move, UnboundSource.InsertAt, UnboundSource.RemoveAt, etc.) to notify the bound control that the data is changed.
