NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Dashboard

Declaration

C#

public DashboardUnderlyingDataSet GetUnderlyingData(
    string axisName,
    IList<string> dataMembers
)

VB.NET

Public Function GetUnderlyingData(
    axisName As String,
    dataMembers As IList(Of String)
) As DashboardUnderlyingDataSet

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
axisName	String	A string value listed in the DashboardDataAxisNames class that specifies the name of the data axis whose dimension values are used to obtain underlying data.
dataMembers	IList<String>	A list of String values that specifies data members used to obtain underlying data.

Returns

Type	Description
DashboardUnderlyingDataSet	A DashboardUnderlyingDataSet object that represents a list of records from the dashboard data source.

Note that the GetUnderlyingData method does not return data for calculated fields containing the Aggr function.

Example

This example demonstrates how to display the underlying data when an end-user double-clicks a dashboard item.

Handle the DashboardItem.DoubleClick event. Call the e.GetUnderlyingData method to retrieve records from the dashboard item’s data source. Invoke a form with the Grid control that displays the data.

View Example

Note

Starting with v19.2, you can use the built-in Data Inspector to display the underlying data.
