Design-Time Features Overview

DXGrid for Silverlight provides enhanced design-time support within Visual Studio 2010 and Blend. Among these enhancements are:

  • a DevExpress Quick Customization Panel that allows you to quickly access required objects, change view type, populate a view with columns and assign column data editors;

  • Column settings that can now be accessed by clicking column headers;
  • Ability to assign a custom object as the grid control's design-time data source. The grid will determine columns types and will allow you to populate the view with all available columns. To learn more, see Customizing Unbound Grid.
