SF and DevExpress - any samples available?

Kari Paukku — Wed, 31 May 2006 13:13:26 GMT

Hi,

would you have a sample (e.g. in VB.Net) or a recorded demo - those are great! - available showing how the DevExpress together with the wrapper works with SF?

Cheers

Kari

A video and sample solution has been added to the Samples area. Let me know if you have any questions. ;)

The EnhancedList is very useful if you just want to use the DevExpress grid in a read-only fashion for displaying data. If you want to use the grid for editing, you'll need to drop a BusinessBindingSource on the form, set the BusinessObject property on the BusinessBindingSource to the business object you want to bind to the list. Then, set the DataSource of the grid to the BusinessBindingSource and the grid will work like normal. You can edit the data and then just call Save() on the business object (or Save() on the form).

Sure. Instead of using the standard DevExpress grid, you will want to look at the EnhancedList control of the wrapper which is a DevExpress grid with much more integrated StrataFrame control. I will try to get a sample out there soon showing you how to use this. It is similar to the ListView in the standard StrataFrame controls.

Thanks,

may I ask the demo/sample to be around/include the DevExpress grid control...

TIA,
Kari

We will try to get one out there in the next couple of days. It is really no different than creating a form with the native StrataFrame controls. Regardless, we will create a sample and post it on the forum with some video.

FYI, there is a third party company creating training videos for StrataFrame. The name of the product is StrataTrain. You can see more about it at www.stratatrain.com . It will be all video based and there will be some samples and downloads available soon.
