Anyone use DatalayoutControl for Devexpree version 7,.2

Richard Keller — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:08:28 GMT

I have migrated my Strataframe inherited UI to 7.2 and there is a new control call DataLayoutControl which basically builds a layout from the specified fields instead of binding one by one. However the field list is not showing up to do this when I bind to a business object. Has anyone ran into this other then me?

Great, that worked it out. I'll watch out for and check the scability issue and see what comes of it.

Thanks,

Richard

In order to bind to any IList control such as a grid...or the layout control, you will need to wrap the BO in a BusinessBindingSource then bind the BBS to the layout control using the standard .NET data-binding. We do not use this control, but there have been some users in the past that have used it. I do recall users having performance issues with this control the deeper they got into their application, that would be my only caution. The reason I mention it is because I recall one user going back and forth with their support and ultimately it was recognized that there could be performance issues the larger the form became. In short, this particular user had to totally rework their application. This was a couple of versions ago and they may have addressed the speed issues, but I thought I might give you a heads up....this may not even be an issue any longer. :)
