Sorting with real-time updates

[maxima]

I have seen this:   Automatic sorting with realtime updates | WPF Forums | Syncfusion

But the answer is not very informative and the link points to something completely irrelevant. Also it is old.

I am having problems with Devexpress GridControl as they dont support what they call "Live Data Shaping" eg sorting with real-time updates IF you use WPF binding.

Question - can Syncfusion data grid or fast grid do live data shaping where columns use custom templates with WPF binding to a Dictionary. For example a column `{Binding Fields[abc].Value}` ?

Hi maxima ,

           SfDataGrid doesn’t support LiveDataUpdateMode - AllowDataShaping and AllowSummaryUpdate for complex and indexer properties. Kindly refer to the documentation below.

Thank you.. Understood. Would AllowDataShaping work with ExpandoObject? Binding path would look like `Binding Fields.abc.Value` ?

Hi Maxima,

As we mentioned in the earlier comment, the SfDataGrid doesn’t support LiveDataUpdateMode - AllowDataShaping and AllowSummaryUpdate for complex and indexer properties.

Regarding the AllowDataShaping with the ExpandoObject we have created a sample. Please find it attached. Additionally, we have observed some variations when using the ExpandoObject.

Therefore, we would like to know the details of how you are generating the data using the ExpandoObject with complex properties. This helps us to analyze about this further.
