Hi Emil, 

  

Thanks for using Syncfusion products. 

  

Regarding “Is it possible to bind columns or like in the Documentation they need to be hardcoded” 

  

Yes. It is possible to bind the columns to Kanban. Please find the code snippet below. 

  

Code Example:  

  

  

<kanban:SfKanban x:Name="kanban" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Columns="{Binding KanbanColumns}" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"  

 

VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" ItemsSource="{Binding Cards}"/>       

  

  

Regarding “There is drag and drop Feature. Is it just visual effect or i can commit ui changes to observablecollection and it gets ordered based on ui ” 

 

You can change the category of the selected card’s model in DragEnd event. Please find the code snippet below.  

  

Code Example: 

  

 

private void Kanban_DragEnd(object sender, KanbanDragEndEventArgs e) 

 

{ 

 

    (e.Data as KanbanModel).Category = e.TargetCategory; 

 

} 

  

  

We have prepared sample for these requirements which can be downloaded from the below location.

Please check the attached sample and let us know if you need further assistance on this.

I  have a similar requirement but I need to remember the order within the Category. 

For example, someone drags the top card in a category to the bottom.  When I do this, the DragEnd event fires and I see the source index and target indexes are set.

But how do I get the overall order (so I can save it), then later how to set the cards in the correct order?

Hi Gene, 

 

Currently, we don’t have direct support to order the Kanban column. So, we have already included “Preserve the order of cards in Xamarin.Forms kanban board” in our feature requirement list and you can track this below.    

 

Feature link: https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/2235/preserve-the-order-of-cards-in-xamarin-forms-kanban-board  

 

We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature.  At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features.  We will let you know when this feature is implemented.”

Thank you for the update Bharathiraja,

I don't understand why support dragging cards around within a column and not supporting saving/loading the resultant order.

I'll keep an eye out to see if/when this is ever added.

thank you again

Hi Gene,  

 

Thanks for your update. Unfortunately, we have not planned this support during our previous feature implementation. We will update you the status once this support is available.
