Generic questions

[Mike Sheasmus]

Hi guys,

I'm about to dive into your UWP product. I have few questions though.

Is the product compatible with the latest UWP where you create a single app that runs on all devices or the product targets the old way of having 2 apps (one for phone and one for larger scale devices)?

Which documentation can I refer to?

Do you have plans for a DataGrid?

Best,

Mike S.

We can create single application to support all devices.

Please refer the below blog link.

Hi Michael,

Query: “Do you have plans for a DataGrid?”

Currently the SfDataGrid is not shipped in UWP. In Release mode, System.Reflection.MissingRuntimeArtifactException has been thrown when changing the source from IEnumerable to IQueryable which is a Framework issue. Already we log a questions in MSDN forum regarding this exception and we arealso trying to resolve this issue in our source. Since this is a framework issue , we can’t promise the exact timeline when it will be available. But we will let you know the timeline about the release of SfDataGrid in UWP once this issue has been fixed.

Hello,

I tried  to use the sfDataGrid component in my UWP Application but it seems the System.Reflection.MissingRuntimeArtifactException is always generated in release mode with NetNativeToolchain.

What do you suggest?

Hi Thibault,


We have logged the issue report on " System.Reflection.MissingRuntimeArtifactException is always generated in release mode with NetNativeToolchain" and this issue will be fixed in our upcoming Volume 4 Service pack 1 release which will be available by the mid of February, 2016. But you can overcome this by adding the below directives in Default.rd.xml file. We have added only for some basic types, where you have to add arguments type based on the property type in your application.
 
Code Example:

<Library Name="Syncfusion.Data.UWP">

    <Type Name="System.Linq.EnumerableExecutor{System.Int32}" Dynamic="Required Public" />

    <Type Name="System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection{}" Dynamic="Required Public" />

    <Namespace Name="System.Linq" Dynamic="Required All" />

    <Type Name="System.Linq.Queryable">

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int32" Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Boolean" Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.DateTime" Dynamic="Required"/>

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Decimal" Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Double" Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int64" Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int32"Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Boolean"Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.DateTime"Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Decimal"Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Double"Dynamic="Required" />

      <MethodInstantiation Name="OrderByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int64"Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name="ThenByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int32" Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name="ThenByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Boolean" Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name="ThenByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.DateTime " Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name="ThenByDescending" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Decimal " Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name="ThenBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Boolean" Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name=" ThenBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.DateTime " Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name=" ThenBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Decimal " Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name=" ThenBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Double " Dynamic="Required" />

  <MethodInstantiation Name=" ThenBy" Arguments="Syncfusion.Data.Extensions.QueryableExtensions,System.Int64" Dynamic="Required" />
