RE: ASP.NET: GridView Context Menu (What's new in 14.1)

I just wanted to draw your attention to my comment in our recent https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/aspnet/archive/2014/05/12/asp-net-gridview-context-menu-what-39-s-new-in-14-1.aspx blog post, in case you missed it:





The described functionality was integrated in XAF in 14.1 when implementing this feature request:
ASPxGridListEditor - Make it possible to use grid control's context menus (check it for more screenshots)

It is also worth mentioning that the ASPxGridListEditor got the native ASPxGridView's pager as well:
While these are truly service features, they are not less important, because ASPxGridListEditor now contains less custom code and uses more built-in control options, which means less support and maintenance and more time to implement new features in XAF. The features like the ones I highlighted are the result of a continuous and long-term strategy and collaboration with our ASP.NET and WinForms controls teams, which improve the underlying controls (based on the feedback received from our team and our customers as well) and will allow us to remove custom solutions and workarounds implemented earlier in XAF, when the control did not provide such features out-of-the-box.

P.S.
BTW, in the upcoming v14.1 we experimented with enabling another ASPxGridView's native feature, which should increase performance, but...I will talk more about it in our official team blog later. Please stay tuned!

  4. @Hasan: I suggest you check the value of the IModelListViewWeb.ShowSelectionColumn option (https://documentation.devexpress.com/#Xaf/DevExpressExpressAppWebSystemModuleIModelListViewWeb_ShowSelectionColumntopic).
    If this is true, then make sure your ListView has a key column and this column contains unique values. If this does not help, please create a ticket in the Support Center (www.devexpress.com/sc) and attach your test project there.
