[DefaultBindableProperty("Text")]
public class XRZipCode :
    XRFieldEmbeddableControl

<DefaultBindableProperty("Text")>
Public Class XRZipCode
    Inherits XRFieldEmbeddableControl

Remarks

The XRZipCode control renders a numeric postal code that is used to identify the mail address in some countries. This control is not related to the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) code used by the United States Postal Service.

RD_Controls_ZipCode

A postal code can only display numeric characters and dashes. Other characters are displayed as empty boxes.

To add this control to a report, drag the XRZipCode item from the DX:24.2: Report Controls Toolbox tab and drop it onto the report.

report-control-zipcode-0

To specify the text for the control, use the XRZipCode.Text property.

Bind a Postal Code to Data

The Text property can be bound to a data field obtained from the data source. To do this, click the control’s smart tag and in its actions list, expand the Expression drop-down list and select the required data field.

report-control-zipcode-2

Clicking the Expression option’s ellipsis button invokes the Expression Editor, in which you can construct a complex expression involving two or more data fields.

See the Bind Report Controls to Data topic to learn more about available data binding modes and creating data-aware controls.

Add a Zip Code to End-User Report Designers

The Toolbox of End-User Report Designers does not contain the XRZipCode control by default.

To register this control, do one of the following (depending on your target platform):

Windows Forms

Add the control to the Toolbox of the End-User Report Designer for WinForms by handling the XRDesignMdiController.DesignPanelLoaded event as shown in the following code snippet:

C#
VB.NET

using System.Drawing.Design;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;

private void reportDesigner1_DesignPanelLoaded(object sender, DesignerLoadedEventArgs e) {
    IToolboxService ts = (IToolboxService)e.DesignerHost.GetService(typeof(IToolboxService));
    ToolboxItem item = new ToolboxItem(typeof(XRZipCode));
    item.DisplayName = "Zip Code";
    ts.AddToolboxItem(item);
}

Imports System.Drawing.Design
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner

Private Sub reportDesigner1_DesignPanelLoaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DesignerLoadedEventArgs)
    Dim ts As IToolboxService = DirectCast(e.DesignerHost.GetService(GetType(IToolboxService)), IToolboxService)
    Dim item As New ToolboxItem(GetType(XRZipCode))
    item.DisplayName = "Zip Code"
    ts.AddToolboxItem(item)
End Sub

Add the Zip Code item to the context menu invoked when you right-click a data field in the Field List and drop it onto the report.

C#
VB.NET

using System.Drawing;
using System.ComponentModel;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.Design;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.Design.Commands;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
//... 

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    //...
    reportDesigner1.AddService(typeof(IMenuCreationService), new CustomMenuCreationService());
}

class CustomMenuCreationService : IMenuCreationService {

    public MenuCommandDescription[] GetCustomMenuCommands() {
        return new MenuCommandDescription[] {};            
    }

    public void ProcessMenuItems(MenuKind menuKind, MenuItemDescriptionCollection items) {
        if (menuKind == MenuKind.FieldDrop) {
            int index = items.IndexOf(BandCommands.BindFieldToXRBarCode);
            if (index < 0)
                return;
            ToolboxBitmapAttribute bitmapAttribute = (ToolboxBitmapAttribute)TypeDescriptor.
                GetAttributes(typeof(XRZipCode))[typeof(ToolboxBitmapAttribute)];
            Image itemImage = bitmapAttribute.GetImage(typeof(XRZipCode), false);
            MenuItemDescription zipCodeItem = new MenuItemDescription("Zip Code", itemImage, 
                BandCommands.BindFieldToXRZipCode);
            items.Insert(index+1, zipCodeItem);
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Design
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Design.Commands
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
'... 

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    '...
    reportDesigner1.AddService(GetType(IMenuCreationService), New CustomMenuCreationService())
End Sub

Class CustomMenuCreationService
    Implements IMenuCreationService

    Public Function GetCustomMenuCommands() As MenuCommandDescription()
        Return New MenuCommandDescription() {}
    End Function

    Public Sub ProcessMenuItems(menuKind As MenuKind, items As MenuItemDescriptionCollection)
        If menuKind = MenuKind.FieldDrop Then
            Dim index As Integer = items.IndexOf(BandCommands.BindFieldToXRBarCode)
            If index < 0 Then
                Return
            End If
            Dim bitmapAttribute As ToolboxBitmapAttribute = DirectCast(TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(GetType(XRZipCode))
               (GetType(ToolboxBitmapAttribute)), ToolboxBitmapAttribute)
            Dim itemImage As Image = bitmapAttribute.GetImage(GetType(XRZipCode), False)
            Dim zipCodeItem As New MenuItemDescription("Zip Code", itemImage, BandCommands.BindFieldToXRZipCode)
            items.Insert(index + 1, zipCodeItem)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

WPF

Add the control to the Toolbox of the End-User Report Designer for WPF by calling the static ReportDesigner.RegisterControl<T> method and passing an appropriate diagram item and control icon as parameters.

C#
VB.NET

using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Reports.UserDesigner;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Reports.UserDesigner.XRDiagram;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.Utils;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;

var icon = (ImageSource)new ImageSelectorExtension {
    Source = AssemblyHelper.GetResourceUri(typeof(ReportDesigner).Assembly,
        "Images/Toolbox32x32/XRZipCode.png"),
    SvgSource = AssemblyHelper.GetResourceUri(typeof(ReportDesigner).Assembly,
        "Images/SVG/Controls/XRZipCode.svg")
}.ProvideValue(null);
ReportDesigner.RegisterControl<XRZipCode>(() => new DefaultXRControlDiagramItem(), icon);

Imports System.Windows.Media.Imaging
Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Reports.UserDesigner
Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Reports.UserDesigner.XRDiagram
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Imports DevExpress.Utils
Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Core

Dim icon = DirectCast(New ImageSelectorExtension() With { 
    .Source = AssemblyHelper.GetResourceUri(GetType(ReportDesigner).Assembly, 
        "Images/Toolbox32x32/XRZipCode.png"), 
    .SvgSource = AssemblyHelper.GetResourceUri(GetType(ReportDesigner).Assembly, 
        "Images/SVG/Controls/XRZipCode.svg") 
}.ProvideValue(Nothing), ImageSource)
ReportDesigner.RegisterControl(Of XRZipCode)(Function() New DefaultXRControlDiagramItem(), icon)

ASP.NET

Add the control to the Web End-User Report Designer using the client-side ASPxClientReportDesigner.CustomizeToolbox event as demonstrated below.

ASPX

<script type="text/javascript" id="script">
    function customizeToolbox(s, e) {
        var info = e.ControlsFactory.getControlInfo("XRZipCode");
        info.isToolboxItem = true;
    }
</script>

<dx:ASPxReportDesigner ID="ASPxReportDesigner1" runat="server">      
    <ClientSideEvents CustomizeToolbox="customizeToolbox"/>  
</dx:ASPxReportDesigner>
