Data Types Supported by built-in Editors
This documentation section includes the following topics, which provide information on data types supported by XAF and corresponding Property Editors, intended to visually represent a property in the UI.
- Key Properties
- String Properties
- Numeric Properties
- Date and Time Properties
- Boolean Properties
- BLOB Image Properties
- Collection Properties
- Reference (Foreign Key, Complex Type) Properties
- File Attachment Properties
- Enumeration Properties
- Type Properties
- Criteria Properties
- Color Properties
- Miscellaneous Property Types
If you need to store a type unsupported by your ORM in the database, refer to the Mapping Complex Types to the Database article.
If there is no built-in property editor for your specific task, you can easily add a custom one. Refer to the Implement Custom Property Editors topic to learn how to implement custom property editors.
Note
To see Property Editors for these types in action, refer to the Property Editors section in the Feature Center demo installed with XAF. The Feature Center demo is installed in %PUBLIC%\Documents\DevExpress Demos 19.2\Components\eXpressApp Framework\FeatureCenter by default. The ASP.NET version of this demo is available online at https://demos.devexpress.com/XAF/FeatureCenter/.
