Remarks
This overload clears the PivotGridControl.Fields collection and populates it with new PivotGridField objects created for all columns in a data source.
The RetrieveFieldsAsync method generates DataSourceColumnBinding objects for each Pivot Grid field in OLAP, Server, and Optimized modes. The Pivot Grid fields obtain their values from columns in the data source. The DataSourceColumnBinding.ColumnName property is set to the name of the data source column. The created fields are moved to the area specified by the area parameter. The visible parameter specifies whether these fields are created as visible or hidden.
The RetrieveFieldsAsync method is asynchronous. It starts executing the related operation in a background thread, and immediately returns control. The primary UI thread is not blocked, allowing the application to continue responding to end-user actions. For more information about the asynchronous mode, see Asynchronous Mode.
To create fields synchronously, use the RetrieveFields method.
