Xamarin DataGrid is a high-performance grid control to display and manipulate large amounts of data efficiently in a tabular format. Its rich feature set includes functionalities like data binding, sorting, grouping, editing, filtering, swiping, dragging, resizing, loading more items, pull to refresh, and more. Export the entire DataGrid or selected items to Excel and PDF file formats using this control. It also handles high-frequency real-time updates.
Xamarin DataGrid control was built from the ground up to achieve the best possible performance on the Xamarin platform, even when loading large data sets. Keep the data organized with both basic and advanced operations on cells, rows, and columns. Perform data processing operations like sorting, grouping, summaries, and real-time updates efficiently.
The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid has data-binding support that works out of the box for popular data sources like List, DataTable and ObservableCollection. Further, the control is completely MVVM compatible and has built-in commands for handling interactions in MVVM.
Responsive features allow the Xamarin.Forms DataGrid layout to be viewed on various devices. It is also possible to hide specific columns based on the device. Customize the width of all the columns or individual columns with built-in column sizing options.
In-place editing with built-in column types provides the best editing experience. There are text, numeric, picker, and date picker editors to commit or roll back changes.
Sort data using conventional sorting techniques against one or more columns either by touch or programmatically. Apply custom sorting logic to order data when conventional techniques do not meet the requirement.
Group data by one or more columns programmatically with customizable templates. Groups can be expanded or collapsed. Apply custom grouping logic to group data.
Calculate and display sum, min, max, average, count, and custom aggregates for the entire DataGrid or individual groups to show the summarized information of all the data or just a section. The types of summary are:
The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid control can handle high-frequency updates even under the most demanding scenarios in which data is sorted and grouped in real time. The summaries are calculated in an optimized way and the updated summary is displayed in real-time scenarios.
Easily filter and search records by setting a predicate to the view.
Load different types of data using various built-in column types such as text, numeric, date picker, combobox, picker, switch, and image for better data visualization.
Freeze rows and columns at the top and left positions in the view for better readability, similar to Excel. Horizontal and vertical scrolling can be performed except on fixed columns and rows.
Display additional columns that are not bound with data object from the underlying data source. The control supports applying arithmetic/logical expressions on cell values of bound columns to populate the cells of unbound columns.
Display rows at the top and bottom of the grid with data that is not bound to the data source.
Associate swipe buttons with custom actions. Swipe buttons are displayed by swiping from left to right or right to left over a data row. Create swipe templates and associate the views in them with custom actions.
Reorder rows and columns for additional end-user flexibility with column and row drag and drop.
Resize a column either on the move or on touch-up to read a lot of data with flexibility. Restrict a column with a minimum width to avoid hiding the column and a maximum width to restrict resizing beyond the limit.
The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid creates records on-demand by enabling data virtualization for the efficient processing of data. Load millions of data instantly with virtualization enabled.
Export the data in the Xamarin.Forms DataGrid to Excel file format with a variety of appearance customization options. Exclude specific columns and headers, set custom row heights and custom column widths, and much more. You can further customize the exported Excel file using the Syncfusion Xamarin Excel library.
Export data in a Xamarin.Forms DataGrid to PDF file format with a variety of appearance customization options. Exclude specific columns and headers, set custom row heights and custom column widths, and much more. A grid can also be exported to a specified page or position in a PDF document. Show or hide the column headers on each page of the exported PDF. Further, DataGrid provides a way to display additional content at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of the page while exporting to PDF. The exported PDF document can be viewed using the Syncfusion Xamarin PDF Viewer.
Scroll the data with the Xamarin.Forms DataGrid horizontally, vertically, or in both directions with various built-in scrolling modes:
All the Xamarin.Forms DataGrid static default strings in the user interface can be localized as needed.
Easily get started with the Xamarin DataGrid using a few simple lines of C# code example as demonstrated below. Also explore our Xamarin DataGrid Example that shows you how to render and configure the DataGrid for Xamarin.Forms.
