XRBinding Class
A simple binding between the property value of an object and the property value of an instance of the XRControl class or one of its descendants.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v20.1.dll
NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Reporting.Core, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Reporting.Core
Declaration
public class XRBinding :
IXRBinding,
IXRSerializable,
IDisposable,
ICloneable,
IDataContainerBaseRelated API Members
The following members return XRBinding objects:
Remarks
Use the XRBinding class to create and maintain a simple binding between an object’s property and a property of the control that represents the XRControl class or one of its descendants.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to create a binding of the XRBinding class, and add it to a control’s binding collection. The constructor method takes four arguments:
- “Text” - the name of the control’s property to be bound,
- dsOrders1 - the data source used,
- “Orders.OrderDate” - a string containing a navigation path resolving to the property of an object,
- “{0:MM/dd/yyyy}” - a string containing the bound value’s format (date/time format in this case).
Note that for this example to work correctly, a report must contain the dsOrders dataset, which should use data in the Orders table (“SELECT Orders.* FROM Orders”) from the demo Northwind database (nwind.mdb file located in the directory, where you installed DevExpress demos).
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public XRLabel CreateBoundLabel() {
// Create a label.
XRLabel label = new XRLabel();
// Create a data binding object.
XRBinding binding = new XRBinding("Text", dsOrders1, "Orders.OrderDate", "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}");
// Add the data binding to the label's collection of bindings.
label.DataBindings.Add(binding);
return label;
}
