Example
This example shows how to apply data sorting and grouping in XAML.
Since group rows are always sorted, data grouping requires data sorting. Sorting applied to group columns takes priority over other columns. To group data by one column in XAML, do the following:
- Create a GridSortInfo object and specify its
GridSortInfo.FieldName
and GridSortInfo.SortOrder properties. TheGridSortInfo.FieldName
property specifies the grouping column by its field name. - Add the GridSortInfo object to the grid’s GridControl.SortInfo collection. This object must be the first element in this collection.
- Finally, set the grid’s GridControl.GroupCount property to 1. This specifies that the first element in the GridControl.SortInfo collection corresponds to the grouping column.
The image below shows the result:
using System.ComponentModel;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Grid;
public Window1() {
InitializeComponent();
grid.DataSource =
new dsNwindProductsTableAdapters.ProductsTableAdapter().GetData();
CreateSortInfo(grid);
}
private void CreateSortInfo(GridControl grid) {
grid.SortInfo.Add(new GridSortInfo("UnitPrice", ListSortDirection.Descending));
grid.SortInfo.Add(new GridSortInfo("ProductName", ListSortDirection.Ascending));
grid.GroupCount = 1;
}
