XRCrossTab.DataMember Property

Specifies the data source member that provides data to the Cross Tab control.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

Declaration

[DefaultValue("")]
[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatData)]
public string DataMember { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
String String.Empty

The data member name.

Remarks

Use the DataSource and DataMember properties to provide a data source to the XRCrossTab control individually.

At design time, you can access the DataSource and DataMember properties in the Cross Tab control’s smart tag. Expand the DataSource property’s drop-down list and click Add Report Data Source.

Follow the steps in the invoked Data Source Wizard to configure a data source. Once you complete the wizard, the DataSource and DataMember properties are set.

Note

If you change the Cross Tab’s DataSource property value, the DataMember property is changed as well.

See the Bind Reports to Data documentation section for more information about data sources.

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:

    };

    // 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();

    }

    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;
}
