How to use custom ASPxGridView template in a Web XAF application

The ASPxGridView, which is used as the grid list editor in XAF Web applications, provides the capability to customize its style via templates. The result of such a customization is shown in the ASPxGridView Demo.

You can achieve the same result in XAF. The difference is that you will need to create controls dynamically.

In this example, a custom DataItemTemplate - UpDownButtonsTemplate - is implemented to display the Up and Down buttons in the grid column. These buttons are intended to change the position of grid rows. This is implemented via grid callbacks - when the button is clicked, a grid callback is performed on the client side, and the server-side code changes the position of the grid rows by changing the Index property, by which the grid is sorted.
