ClientControlContentBuilderBase<TSettings, TImpl>.AutoBind(Boolean) Method

Namespace: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

Assembly: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

Declaration

C#

public TImpl AutoBind(
    bool autoBind
)

VB.NET

Public Function AutoBind(
    autoBind As Boolean
) As TImpl

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
autoBind	Boolean	True to bind a reporting component to an autogenerated View Model automatically; otherwise, false.

Returns

Type	Description
TImpl	A builder instance that can be used to further configure the reporting component.

Remarks

The default setting for AutoBind is true. In this mode, the View Model is created based on the values you specify in a View for the reporting component. This View Model is then used when Knockout library enables component binding.

If AutoBind is set to false, an element with a reporting component binding is not inserted automatically. You can create a custom view model for such an element and enable Knockout binding as needed. To create an element with a reporting component binding, call the Build method of the component builder.

The following code manually activates the Knockout binding of the Report Designer, but the binding is set to the autogenerated View Model.

CSHTML

@{
    var viewerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("ReportDesigner1").Height("1000px").AutoBind(false);
}

@viewerRender.Build("reportDesignerOptions")

<script type="text/javascript">
    ko.applyBindings({ reportDesignerOptions: @viewerRender });
</script>
