The Dashboard Suite does not provide WPF controls. The only way to display dashboards in a WPF application is to use the standard WindowsFormsHost element, which allows displaying any Windows Forms control inside a WPF application. 
In this case, you can generate a Ribbon Bar, which is used to configure dashboards using the DashboardDesigner control by executing the CreateRibbon method. Note that while Ribbon mostly works correctly, there can be some issues with certain features caused by the platforms difference: e.g. Ribbon in RibbonForm not responding to keyboard shortcuts.

This example is obsolete. The Outlook Appointment Editing Form supports editing recurring appointments with exceptions out of the box.

Although XPO supports loading data via Direct SQL Queries, this data cannot be used to populate persistent objects, it cannot be additionally filtered using Criteria Operators or used to feed a Server Mode grid. Is there any way to do this?

Many modern SQL servers support the Common Table Expressions (CTE) feature that allows you to declare a temporary named result set derived from a query and use it in the from part of another query. This feature can be employed in XPO via patching SQL queries it generates. We will demonstrate this functionality in an example with MSSQL Server.

To accomplish this task, we create a custom connection provider derived from MSSqlConnectionProvider and add a dictionary of user-defined CTE definitions. We override the FormatSelect and FormatTable methods to insert CTE definitions into generated queries.

In an application, we declare a persistent class mapped to a CTE definition, and call our connection provider methods to register an SQL query as a CTE definition before using it and unregister it afterwards. This way we can dynamically change SQL queries mapped to a persistent object during application lifetime. An example attached to this article demonstrates how this persistent class can be used in typical scenarios of expression evaluation, collection filtering and LINQ queries.

OBSOLETE:

This example is obsolete. We've introduced the RepositoryItemAnyControl class and the corresponding IAnyControlEdit interface in v14.2, which can be used for this purpose. See the How to implement an embedded Chart Control example demonstrating how to implement this approach.

This example demonstrates how to implement a custom web PDF viewer control by using the DevExpress Document Server functionality.

The main idea of this approach is to use the PdfDocumentProcessor class functionality to load the PDF document and convert its pages to images. Then, these images are rendered in the browser to display PDF document pages.

Important Note:

The Office File API product license is required for using this approach. Please refer to the Subscriptions page for more information.

Starting with version 17.2, pasting data from the Clipboard is supported out of the box. To enable this feature, set the GridView.OptionsClipboard.PasteMode property to Update or Append. In this case, you can paste data by pressing CTRL+V or using the GridView.PasteFromClipboard method. 

If you are using an older version, you can paste data manually using the GridView.SetRowCellValue method. To download the example for old versions, select a required version range in the combo box.

Starting with version 18.1.7 it is possible to bound the built-in check column to a field in the data source using the CheckBoxSelectorField property.

UPDATE: Starting with 18.1, we introduced Office Module. This module provides RichTextPropertyEditor with an ability to create reports based on a business class' properties: Mail Merge.   So we suggest using the new editor in new applications. The current example won't be developed anymore.



Scenario
This example demonstrates one possible way of integrating Snap reports in an XAF WinForms application. It contains the Snap module (the SnapModule class library) implementing this functionality and the SnapExampleXpo and SnapExampleEF projects demonstrating how to use this module with XPO and EF.

The example integration shows how to store reports layout in business objects and show a list of these objects, as this is done in the built-in Reports module. The main tool for working with these reports is a custom Snap designer form. Underlying business objects can be configured using custom buttons from this form. It is also possible to show a read-only preview form using corresponding actions.

Note that the Snap module from this example is not a part of the standard XAF delivery and is not tested as intensively as our built-in modules. Feel free to modify and test it further according to your business requirements.
If your clients require other scenarios of integrating the Snap reports, please describe them here or in the Create a Snap Report Module for XAF ticket. Thank you in advance!


Steps to implement
The Snap module contains a custom SnapDesigner form and classes used to integrate this form in an XAF application - business classes for storing reports and controllers used to show the designer and preview forms. To learn more about integrating custom forms and controls, refer to the Using a Custom Control that is not Integrated by Default topic.

To see how the module works, download the example and launch the SnapExample.Win or SnapExampleEF.Win project. To create a new Snap document, navigate to the Reports navigation item and click New. A Snap designer will be opened (see the screenshot above). It contains several custom commands implemented especially for XAF:

  New - creates a new Snap document;
  Save - saves changes to the database. If the report is new, shows a DetailView allowing to define document's properties;
  Add XAF Data Source - shows a DetailView allowing to define a new data source. Adds this data source to the current Snap document;
  Edit Object - opens a DetailView of the current IDocumentData object that stores report's settings in the database. Use this button to remove or change the existing XAF data sources or other report's properties.

To see information about built-in Snap designer's commands and learn more about Snap reports, refer to Snap documentation.

To use the Snap module from this example in your application, perform the following steps:

1. Download the example and build it with your version of our components.
2. Copy the DocumentData and DocumentDataSource classes from the example to your application's business classes module (YourSolutionName.Module). If you are using EF, copy classes from the SnapExampleEF\BusinessObjects folder. If you are using XPO, copy classes from the SnapExample.Module\BusinessObjects folder.
3. Add a reference to the SnapModule assembly to your project (YourSolutionName.Win).
4. Add SnapModule to your application's Modules list. To do this, either open the WinApplication.cs file of the YourSolutionName.Win project and add a SnapModule instance to the Modules collection in a constructor, or add the SnapModule project to your VS solution and drag & drop the Snap module from a toolbox in the Application Designer.
5. Set SnapModule's DocumentDataType property to the DocumentData type you have created in step 2.

This example demonstrates how to implement SearchResultsView in SchedulerControl by analogy with ListView in Outlook. ListView in Outlook appears when you search for an appointment and displays summary information regarding found entries. This view does not support the concept of a visible time interval; i.e, all found appointments should be shown. This view provides similar context menus and editor forms to manage appointments.

Starting with version 17.2, you can attach Drag And Drop Behavior to two GridControls to implement drag-and-drop without writing additional code.
In older versions, drag-and-drop should be implemented using the standard Drag events. Please refer to the Drag-and-drop data rows from one grid to another Knowledge Base article for an explanation. 

[C#]
privatevoidgrid_DragDrop(objectsender,System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgse){GridControlgrid=senderasGridControl;DataTabletable=grid.DataSourceasDataTable;DataRowrow=e.Data.GetData(typeof(DataRow))asDataRow;if(row!=null&&table!=null&&row.Table!=table){table.ImportRow(row);table.Rows[table.Rows.Count-1]["Column1"]="modified";}}

Starting with v18.2 we support callbacks and keep the changes safe while a user navigates via pages, filters and sorts the grid data. If you use this version and above, please copy the 18.2.3+ branch as approaches to update total summaries differ in new versions and old ones.

This example illustrates how to calculate unbound column and total summary values on the fly. It combines the following two examples: ASPxGridView - How to update total summaries on the client side in Batch Edit mode and ASPxGridView - Batch Edit - How to calculate values on the fly.

ASP.NET MVC Example:

Starting with version 17.2, you can attach Drag And Drop Behavior to target controls to implement drag-and-drop without writing additional code.

This example demonstrates how to enable an Excel-like filter dropdown in different DevExpress versions.

In version 16.2, we have implemented the Excel Style Filtering functionality out of the box. This mode can be enabled by setting a single property - FilterPopupMode.

In previous versions, where this functionality is not available out of the box, it is possible to filter dropdown items based on the current filter.
First, DXGrid has the built-in ShowAllTableValuesInCheckedFilterPopup property that allows enabling the following mode:
- If the current column is not filtered, the filter dropdown displays only those items that meet the grid's filter condition.
- Otherwise, all data source items are displayed to simplify the process of the grid filter correction.
If this functionality is insufficient, and filtering dropdown items when the current column is filtered is required, use the approach demonstrated in this example.

In 19.1 we've implemented two new options that specify how our Find Panel works:
1) ParserKind  - If a search string contains whitespaces, the control splits it into separate logical blocks. This option specifies how these blocks are combined into a search query.
2) Filter Condition - Use the Condition property to specify the search operator (Contains, StartsWith, Equals, Like).
So starting with 19.1 you can use these options to manage the Find Panel behavior without using descendants. 
In case of using SearchLookUpEdit you can find these options in the SearchLookUpEdit .Properties.PopupView.OptionsFind section.

See also:
 WinForms - Data Grid - New Find Panel Options.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes it is useful to adjust a string entered in the Find Panel based upon any rules and filter data correspondingly. For instance, if an end-user enters one two in the Find Panel data search will be performed according to whether or not either one or two string is contained in any search column. To search data against whole "one two" string it is necessary to enclose the filter string in quotes (please review the Find Panel help article to learn all capabilities of the Find Panel). To make this behavior default you can add the quotes to the filter string manually by handling the SearchLookUpEdit.UpdateDisplayFilter event.

This examples illustrates how to implement the SearchLookUpEdit.UpdateDisplayFilter event.

Find Panel uses an extended syntax that allows you to specify complex criteria. You can find detailed information here:
- Find Panel

However, sometimes it is necessary to exclude/include some rows in the resulting list according to your custom logic. In this case, you can filter rows manually by handling View.CustomRowFilter Event. This example demonstrates how to construct your own filter criteria and use ExpressionEvaluator to check whether a row should be hidden.

For demo purposes, this example just shows how to find exact matches of a typed string. The same result can be accomplished with the default behavior if you enclose your text in double quotes in Find Panel. To provide your own logic, just modify the MyConvertFindPanelTextToCriteriaOperator method as your needs dictate.

The value passed to the ReadResourceString method consists of two parts in C# projects: the default assembly namespace ("BackgroundGeolocation.Mobile") and the path to the resource file ("Geolocation.GeolocationScript.js"). The first part may be different in your project. In VB.NET projects, the resource name will be much simpler: "GeolocationScript.js". 

6. In the YourSolutionName.Module.Web project, install the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package and copy the BackgroundGeolocation.Module.Web\Controllers\DisplayGeolocationController.xx file to the Controllers folder.
This controller is intended to draw the client's route based on location points.

7. Build and deploy your mobile application following the steps described in the Install the Application to a Smartphone  help article, and ensure that the Geolocation services are enabled in the mobile device settings.
Once you get your mobile app running on your actual device, wait a few minutes and then run the Web version of your XAF application. Open the DeviceInfo List View, and you will see a record containing your mobile device information. If you click the ListView record, you will be navigated to the DetailView that contains the Map demonstrating the route tracked by the Background Geolocation module.

SchedulerControl supports the custom sorting and groping functionality starting with version 19.1. You can find more about this functionality in the Group and Sort Appointments documentation and test it using this Demo. Please note that this demo requires installation of WinForms Subscription v19.1, which can be downloaded there: Download.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This example illustrates how to sort Appointments with the same time interval. This can be useful if you wish to sort all-day appointments (or daily appointments with the same Start and End values) by your custom rule.

This functionality may be introduced by implementing a custom DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Services.Internal.IExternalAppointmentCompareService service.
