RadPivotFieldList Custom Name

[gisela]

Hi Telerik Team,

is there a possibility for changing the Name in the RadPivotFieldlist at runtime.
CustomName works only for RadPivotGrid and DataAnnotations can i not change at runtime.

Thnaks in advance

Hello Gisela,

It is not supported to change the properties names at runtime. Even if you succeed changing property's name, you'll have to set DataProvider's ItemsSource to null and then reapply the new collection, so RadPivotGrid and RadPivotFieldList will get the new values.

RadPivotGrid and RadPivotFieldList expect that your DataItem's property names will not be changed at runtime.

Hope this helps.

Hallo Rosen,

thank you for your answer.
I understand your answer, but i don't understand, why has the RadPivotGrid a CustomName Property and the RadPivotFieldList not?

Hi Gisela,

CustomName property is set on Group/Aggregate descriptions of the DataProvider, not on RadPivotGrid or RadPivotFieldList. The idea of Custom Name is to modify the name of description itself, not modifying the property that is used for this description. The upper part of RadPivotFieldList is showing the properties directly from the source (the data item that is used), and that's why the CustomName is not applied there - these are just properties of the data item, not group descriptions.

Hopefully this makes sense. Feel free to contact us in case you have any other problems or concerns.
