Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string specifying the type of the control that displays a Control Detail Item.

Remarks

The ControlViewItem loads the specified control type dynamically by its name at runtime. Make sure your application loads the type assembly before it shows a View with this ControlViewItem. Otherwise, the following exception may occur:

TypeWasNotFoundException - "The '{ControlTypeName}' type was not found". 

To load the type assembly, create any lightweight object from the assembly type at startup:

C#

var pivotGridAssemblyInitializer = new PivotGridField();

VB

Dim pivotGridAssemblyInitializer As New PivotGridField()

Alternatively, add a control to a UserControl, as shown in the following topics:
