Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

The following examples demonstrates how to use attribute syntax to apply a card-view layout, with the normal-color Aero theme, to a grid.The following examples demonstrates how to use property element syntax to apply a card-view layout, with the normal-color Aero theme, to a grid.
