Provides access to the object, whose collection property is represented by the current PropertyCollectionSource.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

#Declaration

public object MasterObject { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Object

An object, whose collection property is represented by the current PropertyCollectionSource.

#Remarks

When an object contains a collection property, this property is displayed in a Detail View via a nested List View. If a Detail View’s DetailView.CurrentObject has not been assigned, the MasterObject property of the nested List View’s Collection Source may return null (Nothing in VB).

To track changes of the MasterObject, subscribe to the PropertyCollectionSource.MasterObjectChanged event.

To see an example of accessing this property, refer to the How to: Access the Master Object from a Nested List View help topic.

The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the MasterObject property.
