Syncfusion Feedback
Essential JS2

The Syncfusion® Xamarin control suite has been retired and is no longer in active development. We recommend migrating to our .NET MAUI controls, which deliver even more features, enhanced performance, and long-term support for modern, cross-platform applications.

Xamarin.Forms Xamarin Datagrid Editing

Overview

The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid provides a seamless editing experience to edit cell values in-place using intuitive editors such as date-picker, combobox, picker, numeric text box, and entry. It supports non-editable columns such as images and unbound. Users can embed any control in a cell with template columns. It is possible to commit, or rollback changes based on validation.

Widely used column types

The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid control provides support for widely used column types. Users can easily edit cell values using built-in intuitive editors. The following are supported:

  • Entry
  • Numeric TextBox
  • Picker
  • ComboBox
  • DatePicker
  • Switch

Template column

Load any control to represent data using a template. You can perform mouse and keyboard interactions for the template column easily, like for built-in column types for desktop platforms.

Individual column editing

Provide or restrict editing for individual columns in a Xamarin.Forms DataGrid just by setting an API. The editing API setting in the columns takes higher priority than the editing setting in the DataGrid with a flexible editing experience.

Edit mode

Enter edit mode by either tapping or double-tapping in a Xamarin.Forms DataGrid, which is customizable by setting an API.

Cursor behavior

Customize the cursor behavior when a cell enters edit mode to either select the entire text in the edit element or move the cursor to the last. This behavior can be customized through a property in Xamarin.Forms DataGrid.

Programmatic editing

The Xamarin.Forms DataGrid control allows editing a cell programmatically by calling certain methods. It provides separate methods for editing the cell values programmatically. * Enter edit mode for a cell. * Commit the edited value in a cell when completing editing. * Rollback the edited value in a cell when completing editing.

The best tool to operate grid like data out there
Good documentation helps you with everything you need to know. What I like the most is that it takes you from configuration to usage. I have mainly used grid and toolbar options along with dashboard.

Superior components:any day anytime
Essential studio is one of a kind. The fact that they give us the community developer license has always shown how much they value the small teams creating their own startups. Essential studio has helped a lot in my almost ready business intelligence platform for the healthcare industry. The grid and the kanban components are what made us fall in love with all the other components.
