Remarks

A DashboardUnderlyingDataSet object is returned by the DashboardDesigner.GetUnderlyingData and DashboardViewer.GetUnderlyingData methods. Any of these methods allow you to obtain a list of records from the dashboard data source.

You can also obtain the underlying data for specific visual elements when handling DashboardViewer events, for instance, the DashboardViewer.DashboardItemClick event. Use the DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.GetUnderlyingData method to do this.

Individual rows in the DashboardUnderlyingDataSet are represented by DashboardUnderlyingDataRow objects.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to obtain underlying data corresponding to a particular visual element using the DashboardViewer‘s API.

In this example, the DashboardViewer.DashboardItemDoubleClick event is handled to obtain underlying data and display this data in the grid.

In the event handler, the DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.GetUnderlyingData method is called to obtain records from the dashboard’s data source.

Note

The complete sample project WinViewer - How to obtain a dashboard item’s underlying data for a clicked visual element is available in the DevExpress Examples repository.
