PivotGridControl.CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync(Int32, Int32, Int32) Method

Returns a list of records used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell asynchronously.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid

Declaration

C#

public Task<PivotDrillDownDataSource> CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync(
    int columnIndex,
    int rowIndex,
    int maxRowCount
)

VB.NET

Public Function CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync(
    columnIndex As Integer,
    rowIndex As Integer,
    maxRowCount As Integer
) As Task(Of PivotDrillDownDataSource)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
columnIndex	Int32	A zero-based integer that identifies the visible index of the column. Pass -1 as a column index to obtain the column’s Grand Total.
rowIndex	Int32	A zero-based integer that identifies the visible index of the row. Pass -1 as a row index to obtain the row’s Grand Total.
maxRowCount	Int32	An integer value that specifies the maximum number of data rows to be returned. Pass -1 to retrieve all rows.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<PivotDrillDownDataSource>	An asynchronous operation that returns PivotDrillDownDataSource.

Remarks

Cells in the Pivot Grid display summary and total summary values. Each summary and total summary value is calculated for a specific subset of records in the control’s underlying data source. These records are identified by the values of the column and row fields displayed within the column and row headers.

The CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync method allows you to retrieve the subset of records from the control’s underlying data source, used to calculate the summary value for the current cell.

In Server and OLAP modes, the CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync method returns only visible fields. To get hidden field values, use the method’s overloads with the customColumns parameter that allows you to specify the columns to return.

Example

This example executes an asynchronous operation that creates a drill-down data source for the selected Pivot Grid cell and gets the operation result - the underlying data source.

In this example, the Pivot Grid control is bound to the LinqServerModeSource data source and operates in server mode.

The PivotGridControl.CellClick event handler calls the PivotGridControl.CreateDrillDownDataSourceAsync method to generate a drill-down data source for the selected cell. The method parameter specifies the number of records to return. The method also specifies the columns to add to the data set.

The GridControl displays the underlying records (the created PivotDrillDownDataSource) in the auxiliary DrillDownForm.
