Enable the DxGridListEditor

The code sample below demonstrates how to enable the DxGridListEditor instead of the GridListEditor in your XAF Blazor application.

Add the following code to the MySolution.Module.Blazor/BlazorModule.cs file:

// ...
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Blazor.Editors;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Utils;

namespace MySolution.Module.Blazor {
    [ToolboxItemFilter("Xaf.Platform.Blazor")]
    public sealed partial class MySolutionBlazorModule : ModuleBase {
        // ...
        public MySolutionBlazorModule() {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataAccessModeHelper.RegisterEditorSupportedModes(
                typeof(DxGridListEditor), 
                new List<CollectionSourceDataAccessMode>() {
                    CollectionSourceDataAccessMode.Client
                }
            );
        }
        protected override void RegisterEditorDescriptors(EditorDescriptorsFactory editorDescriptorsFactory) {
            base.RegisterEditorDescriptors(editorDescriptorsFactory);
            editorDescriptorsFactory.RegisterListEditor(
                EditorAliases.GridListEditor, 
                typeof(object), 
                typeof(DxGridListEditor), 
                true
            );
        }
