is there any sample code for binding an arbitrary collection of objects to the pivot grid. For example, I dont want to go through RIA to connect to the server, I just want to report on a collection of data I have. The following code does not work:
public
class Data
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public string Ticker {get;set;}
public double Value { get; set; }
}
List
<Data> data = new List<Data>();
data.Add(
new Data{
Date =
DateTime.Parse("1/1/2000"),
Ticker =
"IBM",
Value = 1.0
});
this.xamPivotGrid1.DataSource = data;
It wants an instance of IOlapViewModel
Thanks in advance
Hi
To provide data to XamPivotGrid you should create DataSource that XamPivotGrid can read. Such oblects are FlatDataSource and XmlaDataSource. The first type is used when you have IEnumerable and want to show this data in the grid. The second type is used when you have analysis server as MS SQL Analysis server 2008. In your case you should FlatDataSource. Below is the code you can use to provide your data:
List<Data> data = new List<Data>();
data.Add(new Data
Date = DateTime.Parse("1/1/2000"),
Ticker = "IBM",
FlatDataSource flatDataSource = new FlatDataSource
ItemsSource = data,
Cube = DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialCube("Data"),
Rows = DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("[Date]"),
Columns = DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("[Ticker]"),
Measures = DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("Value")
};
pivotGrid.DataSource = flatDataSource;
The cube is your class that contains properties with data – here is “Data”. For rows and columns you should provide properties whose data will be shown in rows or in column and for measure you provide property with data for cells. Finally you have to assign XamPivotGrid’s DataSource samples. In addition you can use HierarchyDescriptor<Data> to customize the look of the data in rows, columns and cell. You can see more complex sample about HierarchyDescriptor here http://labs.infragistics.com/silverlightdv/2010.2/#/Samples/PivotGrid/Basic/DataSourceFlatDataCB

I have copied your code into my project, and the cube ends up as null, and the rows, columns and measures all have count=0.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Oops - the reply has appeared at the bottom (it's my first time!), so I should add that I am trying to use the folowing code as suggested above:List<Data> data = new List<Data>();
new Data{Date = DateTime.Parse("1/1/2000"),Ticker = "IBM",Value =1.0});
FlatDataSource
flatDataSource = new FlatDataSource
Cube =
DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialCube("Data"),
Rows =
DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("[Date]"),
Columns =
DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("[Ticker]"),
Measures =
DataSourceBase.GenerateInitialItems("Value")
and as stated above, flatDataSource.Cube is null, and flatDataSource.Rows = 0.
Hope that makes my question clearer!
FYI: I got rid of the dataexpander control, and added
<
igOlap:FlatDataSource x:Key="flatDataSource" ... to the resouces section of the xaml, and now it displays the correct info (the Rows collection still says it has count of 0 but I see data - weird!)
I am not using RIA services - I am generating the list in code as in the example.
Hello,
Now I've seen that there is missing part in my code and it is mislead. I’m going to edit the previous post.Actually you need this:
In resources:
<riaControls:DomainDataSource x:Key="ddsProducts"
AutoLoad="True"
LoadedData="productDomainDataSource_LoadedData"
Name="productDomainDataSource" QueryName="GetProducts">
<riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
<web:ProductsDomainContext/>
</riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
</riaControls:DomainDataSource>
<FlatData:FlatDataConnectionSettings x:Key="flatDataSettings"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ddsProducts}, Path=Data}"/>
<FlatData:FlatDataSource x:Key="flatDataSource"
Cube="ProductData"
ConnectionSettings="{StaticResource flatDataSettings}">
In LayouRoot:
<PivotGrid:XamPivotGrid x:Name="pivotGrid"
DataSource="{StaticResource flatDataSource}">
</PivotGrid:XamPivotGrid>
<PivotGrid:Expander Header="RIA data" Grid.Column="1" IsExpanded="True">
<PivotGrid:XamPivotDataSelector Grid.Column="1" x:Name="dataSelector"
DataSource="{StaticResource flatDataSource}"/>
</PivotGrid:Expander>
Best regards.PPilev.
