Experimental support of DataView mode in Pivot Grid List Editors in v15.2.9 - YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED

There is other performance related news today. This time it is for users who need to analyze and visualize large amounts of data using the pivot table. 


Starting with v15.2.9, we have made improvements to our Pivot Grid List Editors and are ready to share a preview of our work. So far, things are pretty stable, and we have not found any issues in scenarios with DataView (a few XAF customers tested this functionality earlier did not experience problems either). We still wanted to collect more feedback and hear from you about how this works in your real projects. The more scenarios we cover at this stage, the better for the product. If all goes according to plan, this functionality will be officially released in the upcoming 16.1 build, which should be out around early June.



To enable this functionality, do the following:
1. In the Model Editor invoked for your platform-dependent module, set the EditorType property for a required ListView node to the PivotGridListEditor or ASPxPivotGridListEditor as per 

2. Set the ListView's DataAccessMode = DataView as per 

There is also a ready demo in the FeatureCenter app shipped with XAF for you to play with.

  1. Nice Dennis - but what about the Analysis Module?

    1. @Martin: Thanks for your feedback, Noxe. It's not enabled there by default, but it can likely be done on the DataSourceCreating event of the AnalysisEditorBase in a custom ViewController. Regardless, our team will take your request into account for the future.

    1. Not yet, at least for XPO. As for EF/LINQ, it is quite possible to implement a custom-tailored solution based on the DataSourceCreating event of the AnalysisEditorBase class as demonstrated at https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/T233255.
