Oliver Sturn does a great job highlighting the awesome features of XPO. A nice but old video (from 2011) I would still recommend to take a look is this one. I won’t get into that because I believe is pretty much covered.īut if you are new to XPO and you want to learn more about it, just follow this link and start playing with it. There is an enormous amount of information online for EF, Microsoft Docs, Udemy courses, Pluralsight, Lynda or should I say LinkedIn Learning and more. Most probably you already know Entity Framework. Are you ready?ġ- Learn XPO or Entity Framework (You can’t see I am little biased) Well, this is my own formula for XAF development. I liked so much I even put it in my quick overview of XPO in Xamarin (expect part 2 and 3 coming soon) and got me thinking what a great way of jump start our learning process and having a lot of great content in a single place. Within the print executing action you can call PrintTool.ShowPreview() instead of PrintTool.PrintDialog() to show a print preview on screen of the completed template before it is printed.As an advocate for XAF, XPO, Xamarin and Azure I am constantly reading articles, tutorials, youtube videos and anything I can get my hands on about those topics and a while back I read a great article by Charlin Agramonte: Learning Xamarin Forms – The XamGirl personal recipe where she goes over her personal formula for learning Xamarin. Once you have completed the executing events it will be necessary to assign the events to the buttons you created previously.
ShowDialog ( ) using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream (saveFileDialog. Concat ( " Exported Template - ", record. SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog ( )
FindObject ( new BinaryOperator ( " Name ", " Export Template " ) ) if (reportData ! = null ) private void Export_Execute ( object sender, SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs e ) / The instance containing the event data. PrintDialog ( ) /// /// Handles the Execute event of the Export control. ReportPrintTool printTool = new ReportPrintTool (report ) FindObject ( new BinaryOperator ( " Name ", " Print Template " ) ) if (reportData ! = null ) private void Print_Execute ( object sender, SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs e ) / /// Handles the Execute event of the Print control.

Once you have created the action buttons you have to create the executing event for the buttons, the below code example shows, how to setup the executing events for printing and exporting to PDF. Configure these buttons accordingly within the designer by assigning tooltips, captions, images and target object criteria.

Within the view controller, add two simple actions, Print and Export. Once you have completed the reports you will need to create a view controller and assign it to the detail view of the record type which you wish to print and export. All reports will need a single parameter which will be the record which you pass through to the template before printing or exporting, to pass a parameter though from a parent report to a sub report please see the blog post: DevExpress XtraReports – Filtering Report Via Script To implement this functionality, first of all it is necessary to create the reports which you wish to use as the templates, it may be necessary to also create sub reports to show the children of the parent report. We required the ability to print and/or export these using a predefined template so that it will be simple for a user to click a single action from within the DevExpress application and the Invoice, Purchase Order or Credit Note will be generated using the relevant template and printed, following the same consistent style each time. Within the DevExpress application we can create records such as Invoices, Purchase Orders or Credit Notes.
