Remarks

The View class serves as the base for classes that are responsible for data representation and editing. Normally, you do not need to use this class directly. Instead, you will need to use its descendants - DashboardView, DetailView and ListView. These are the actual classes used to display and edit objects in a UI.

You can access a View via the Frame.View or ViewController.View property.

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the View class.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
