AllowEdit Gets whether you can update data records. This method always returns false because the list represented by XafDataView is readonly.
AllowNew Gets whether you can add data records. This method always returns false because the list represented by XafDataView is readonly.
AllowRemove Gets whether you can update data records. This method always returns false because the list represented by XafDataView is readonly.
Count Gets the number of data records contained in the XafDataView.
Criteria Specifies criteria used to filter the data view at the server side.
Expressions Specifies data view column names and expressions used to compute column values.
IsFixedSize Gets a value indicating whether the data view has a fixed size. This property value is always false because the list represented by XafDataView is readonly.
IsLoaded Gets a value that indicates whether or not the data records list cached by XafDataView is initialized.
IsReadOnly Gets a value indicating whether the list repersented by XafDataView is read-only. Always returns true.
IsSynchronized Gets a value indicating whether access to the data view is synchronized. This method always returns false
Item[Int32] Gets the data record at the specified index.
ObjectSpace Gets the Object Space used to query data by the current XafDataView.
ObjectType Gets the type of business objects that are queried by XafDataView.
Sorting Specifies the sorted columns within the data view.
SyncRoot Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the data view. Always returns the XafDataView instance itself, because the data view’s underlying store is not is not publicly available (see the Remarks section of the ICollection.SyncRoot Property topic).
TopReturnedObjectsCount Specifies the number of data records retrieved by the XafDataView.
