SfDataGrid.View is null

[Bostjan Primozic]

I create data grid like this.
            dataGrid = new SfDataGrid
            {
                ItemsSource = App.Items,
                AutoGenerateColumns = false,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,

                ColumnSizer = ColumnSizer.Star,
                AlternationCount = 2              
            };
            dataGrid.GridStyle.AlternatingRowColor = Color.LightGreen;
            dataGrid.View.LiveDataUpdateMode = LiveDataUpdateMode.AllowSummaryUpdate;

where App.Items is ObservableCollection<MyItem>, so very basic example. Issue is that View property is always null, so this line: dataGrid.View.LiveDataUpdateMode = LiveDataUpdateMode; fails.
Otherwise code works as intended.
Is this a bug or I missed some steep ?

Thank you

Hi Bostjan Primozic, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

We have checked your query and the given code example.  

 

SfDataGrid.View related properties can be used only after creating SfDataGrid.View. Hence changes related to View can be done only in SfDataGrid.GridViewCreated or SfDataGrid.GridLoaded event or in the runtime only. 

 

Refer the below link for more details regarding the SfDataGrid.View. 

Link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfdatagrid/data-binding?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#view 

 

Refer the below code for reference: 

 

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage 

{ 

    public MainPage() 

    { 

        InitializeComponent(); 

        dataGrid.GridStyle.AlternatingRowColor = Color.LightGreen; 

        dataGrid.GridViewCreated += DataGrid_GridViewCreated; 

    } 

 

    private void DataGrid_GridViewCreated (object sender, GridViewCreatedEventArgs e) 

    { 

        dataGrid.View.LiveDataUpdateMode = LiveDataUpdateMode.AllowSummaryUpdate; 

    } 

} 

 

We have prepared a sample for your reference and you can download the same from below link.
