How to: Provide Data for an Unbound Field Using Expressions

The following code snippet demonstrates how to create an unbound field in code and use the PivotGridField.UnboundExpression property to supply data. In this example, extended price values are calculated as follows:

[Quantity] * [UnitPrice] * (1 - [Discount]).

Pivot Grid field names are obtained using the PivotGridFieldBase.ExpressionFieldName property.

PivotGridField fieldExtendedPrice = new PivotGridField() { Caption = "Extended Price", Area = PivotArea.DataArea };
fieldExtendedPrice.UnboundFieldName = "fieldExtendedPrice";
fieldExtendedPrice.UnboundType = DevExpress.Data.UnboundColumnType.Decimal;
fieldExtendedPrice.UnboundExpression = string.Format("[{0}] * [{1}] * (1 - [{2}])", 
    fieldQuantity.ExpressionFieldName, fieldUnitPrice.ExpressionFieldName, fieldDiscount.ExpressionFieldName);
pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add(fieldExtendedPrice);
}
