XRCrossTab.DataFields Property
Provides access to the collection of the Cross Tab’s data fields.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core
Declaration
[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatData)]
public CrossTabFieldCollection<CrossTabDataField> DataFields { get; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
CrossTabFieldCollection<CrossTabDataField> | The data field collection. |
Remarks
The Cross Tab’s DataSource and DataMember properties supply data to this control. To create the Cross Tab’s layout, specify its fields and bind them to data source fields.
The Cross Tab supports three field types:
RowFields - display values of data source fields as row headers;
ColumnFields - display values of data source fields as column headers;
DataFields - use values of data source fields to calculate summaries at the intersection of rows and columns.
Tip
You can also use calculated fields if data source fields do not suit your requirements and you need to pre-process data before it is shown in the Cross Tab.
At design time, drop a data field from the Field List onto the Data area. This adds a new field to the DataFields collection and sets its FieldName property to the dropped data field. You can add two or more data source fields and arrange them in two ways:
in a column one under another (field headers are displayed as row headers);
in a row one after another (field headers are displayed as column headers);
When the data area contains only one field, the field header is not displayed.
You can also locate the DataFields property in the Properties window and manage fields in the invoked Collection Editor.
The following image illustrates the Cross Tab populated with data.
Use the SummaryType property to choose the summary function to calculate against a data field. Use the SummaryDisplayType property to define how to display summary values (“as is” or in correlation with other values).
The LayoutOptions.DataFieldLayout property allows you to change the field location.
Tip
See the XRCrossTab class description for more information.
Example
The following code sample creates a new SqlDataSource, creates a report with the XRCrossTab control at runtime, and binds the Cross Tab control to data:
using DevExpress.DataAccess.ConnectionParameters;
using DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.CrossTab;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
// ...
private XtraReport CreateReport() {
// Creates a blank report.
XtraReport crossTabReport = new XtraReport() {
VerticalContentSplitting = VerticalContentSplitting.Smart,
HorizontalContentSplitting = HorizontalContentSplitting.Smart
};
// Creates a detail band and adds it to the report.
DetailBand detail = new DetailBand();
crossTabReport.Bands.Add(detail);
// Creates a cross tab and adds it to the Detail band.
XRCrossTab crossTab = new XRCrossTab();
detail.Controls.Add(crossTab);
crossTab.PrintOptions.RepeatColumnHeaders = true;
crossTab.PrintOptions.RepeatRowHeaders = true;
// Creates a data source.
SQLiteConnectionParameters connectionParameters = new SQLiteConnectionParameters(@"|DataDirectory|\nwind.db", "");
SqlDataSource ds = new SqlDataSource(connectionParameters);
// Creates an SQL query to access the SalesPerson view.
SelectQuery query = SelectQueryFluentBuilder.AddTable("SalesPerson")
.SelectColumn("CategoryName")
.SelectColumn("ProductName")
.SelectColumn("Country")
.SelectColumn("FullName")
.SelectColumn("Quantity")
.SelectColumn("ExtendedPrice").Build("SalesPerson");
ds.Queries.Add(query);
// Binds the cross tab to data.
crossTab.DataSource = ds;
crossTab.DataMember = "SalesPerson";
// Generates cross tab fields.
crossTab.RowFields.Add(new CrossTabRowField() { FieldName = "CategoryName" });
crossTab.RowFields.Add(new CrossTabRowField() { FieldName = "ProductName" });
crossTab.ColumnFields.Add(new CrossTabColumnField() { FieldName = "Country" });
crossTab.ColumnFields.Add(new CrossTabColumnField() { FieldName = "FullName" });
crossTab.DataFields.Add(new CrossTabDataField() { FieldName = "Quantity" });
crossTab.DataFields.Add(new CrossTabDataField() { FieldName = "ExtendedPrice" });
crossTab.GenerateLayout();
// ...
// Adjusts the generated cells.
foreach(var c in crossTab.ColumnDefinitions) {
// Enables auto-width for all columns.
c.AutoWidthMode = DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.AutoSizeMode.GrowOnly;
}
foreach(XRCrossTabCell c in crossTab.Cells) {
if(c.DataLevel == 1 && c.RowIndex != 2) {
// Adjusts format string for the "Extended Price" cells.
c.TextFormatString = "{0:c}";
}
}
// Assigns styles to the cross tab.
crossTab.CrossTabStyles.GeneralStyle = new XRControlStyle() {
Name = "Default",
Borders = BorderSide.All,
Padding = new PaddingInfo() { All = 2 }
};
crossTab.CrossTabStyles.DataAreaStyle = crossTab.CrossTabStyles.TotalAreaStyle = new XRControlStyle() {
Name = "Data",
TextAlignment = TextAlignment.TopRight
};
crossTab.CrossTabStyles.HeaderAreaStyle = new XRControlStyle() {
Name = "HeaderAndTotals",
BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke
};
return crossTabReport;
}
