Local Data Exporting
This sample application demonstrates how to export local data using XMLSS or CSV formats. It specifically demonstrates how to:
- Create an implicit style that targets DataCell
- Make the grid read-only (see ReadOnly property)
- Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
- Configure various column settings including:
- Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title property)
- Changing the width (see Width property)
- Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
- Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
- Hiding a column (see Visible property)
- Add a notification control (see NotificationControl class) to the fixed footer section (see FixedFooters property)
- Add a new group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) to the group-descriptions collection (see GroupDescriptions property)
- Create and configure an XMLSS exporter (see XmlssExporter class) including:
- Specifying if column headers are exported (see IncludeColumnHeaders property)
- Specifying if field names are to be used instead of titles in the column headers (see UseFieldNamesInHeaders property)
- Specifying if the column header should remain fixed and always visible in the exported document (see UseFixedHeaderRow property)
- Create and configure a CSV exporter (see CsvExporter class) including:
- Providing a new culture info (see FormatSettings.Culture property)
- Providing a new date-time format (see FormatSettings.DateTimeFormat property)
- Providing a new numeric format (see FormatSettings.NumericFormat property)
- Providing a new separator character (see FormatSettings.Separator property)
- Providing a new text-delimiter character (see FormatSettings.TextDelimiter property)
- Specifying if column headers are exported (see IncludeColumnHeaders property)
- Specifying if field names are to be used instead of titles in the column headers (see UseFixedHeaderRow property)
- Asynchronously export various selections of data items (see BeginExport and EndExport methods)
- Asynchronously export the entire content of the grid (see BeginExport and EndExport methods)
- Cancel an asynchronous export operation (see CancelExport method)
- Define custom selection ranges (see Selecting Data topic)

- Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
- Configure various column settings including:
- Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title property)
- Changing the width (see Width property)
- Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
- Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
- Hiding a column (see Visible property)

- Using and configuring a drag-drop manager (see DragDropManager class)
- Using and configuring a drag-drop context (see DragDropContext class)
- Using and configuring a dragged-element configuration (see DraggedElementConfiguration class)
