DXSerializer.AllowProperty Attached Event

In This Article

Allows you to prevent a property from deserialization.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.Serialization

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

#Declaration

#Remarks

Do the following to prevent a property from being deserialized:

  1. Handle the AllowProperty event.
  2. Set AllowPropertyEventArgs.Allow property to false.

The following code sample disables the GridControl ID column’s WidthProperty predefined property deserialization:

using DevExpress.Xpf.Core.Serialization;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Grid;
// ...

public partial class MainWindow : Window {
    public MainWindow() {
        //...
        grid.Columns[nameof(Customer.ID)].AddHandler(DXSerializer.AllowPropertyEvent, 
              new AllowPropertyEventHandler(OnAllowProperty));
    }

    void OnAllowProperty(object sender, AllowPropertyEventArgs e) {
        if (e.DependencyProperty == GridColumn.WidthProperty)
            e.Allow = false;
    }
}
