This article explains how display events in a regular List View grid in XAF ASP.NET Core Blazor and Windows Forms applications.

Note

For the purposes of this article, you can use the MainDemo application installed as a part of the XAF package. The default location of the application is %PUBLIC%\Documents\DevExpress Demos 23.2\Components\XAF.

The MainDemo application uses DevExpress.ExpressApp.Scheduler.Blazor.Editors.SchedulerListEditor and DevExpress.ExpressApp.Scheduler.Win.SchedulerListEditor to display Scheduler in UI. The image below shows the current Scheduler List Editor:

ASP.NET Core Blazor

Windows Forms

The instructions below explain how to change the List Editor type.

1. In the Solution Explorer, expand the MainDemo.Blazor.Server or MainDemo.Win project and double-click the Model.xafml file to open it in the Model Editor.
2. Depending on the ORM tool used in your application, navigate to one of the following nodes:
   • Views | DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.EF | Event | Event_ListView for Entity Framework Core.
   • Views | DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl | Event | Event_ListView for XPO.
3. Set the IModelListView.EditorType property to a regular List Editor value:
   • DevExpress.ExpressApp.Blazor.Editors.DxGridListEditor for ASP.NET Core Blazor.
   • DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Editors.GridListEditor for Windows Forms.

4. Save the changes and run the application. When you invoke the Calendar List View, it should look like this:

   ASP.NET Core Blazor

   

   Windows Forms

   

Tip

You can add an Action that allows users to switch between different List Editors. For more information, refer to the following topic: View Variants Module.
