Released: Mar 1, 2017

Updates in V6.2

Features

• Significantly upgraded MVVM support and a new, dedicated sample application.
• Windows 10 theme for TreeGridFlowView.
• Performance and UI automation improvements.
• Compatible with Visual Studio 2017.
• StatRow can now automatically detect statistical functions and associate them to StatCells.
• It is now possible to show Statistics within a group header through the new StatGroupHeaderConrol class without having to retemplate the group header.
• Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling is now supported, either when the “ctrl” key is pressed or when there is no vertical scrollbar.
• A default ForeignKeyConverter is now assigned to a ForeignKeyConfiguration at construction. This now reproduces the same behavior a ForeignKeyDescription has.
• Column.GroupConfiguration is now considered when searching for a GroupConfiguration for a DataGridGroupDescription that is defined on a DataGridCollectionView.
• AutoCreateForeignKeyDescriptions on DataGridCollectionView/Source is now correctly evaluated before creating descriptions.
• A column that references indexers can now be correctly sorted.
• Cell editors are now properly displayed when scrolling, in accordance with the value set on the CellEditorDisplayConditions property on DataGridControl or ColumnBase.
• A System.FormatException is no longer thrown when using a default cell editor on a column having a converter that may change the type of the returned value.
• A StackOverflowException is no longer thrown while updating the layout when no data source is set on the grid.
• A trial license key is now generated when installing NuGet packages under Visual Studio 2015 and up.
• The ForeignKeyConfiguration class now inherits from Freezable, and can have its properties be the target of a binding through DataContext in XAML, which enables MVVM scenarios.
• The DetailConfiguration class now inherits from FrameworkContentElement, and can have its properties be the target of a binding through DataContext in XAML, which enables MVVM scenarios.
• CurrentItem and CurrentColumn on DataGridControl are now DependencyProperties, and as such can be bound in an MVVM scenario.
• The ItemsSourceName property on DataGridControl is now a DependencyProperty, enabling it to be the target of a binding, including in an MVVM scenario.
• A new DependencyProperty, CurrentColumnFieldName, has been added on DataGridControl, so the CurrentColumn can be easily set in an MVVM scenario.
• Using a filter expression in a foreign key column FilterCell (using a TextBox as opposed to a ComboBox) now correctly filters items.
• It is now possible to synchronize the selected items of the DataGrid from the ViewModel (MVVM), by setting the SelectedItemsSource property of the DataGridControl to a notifying collection.
