    How do you control of the order that the fields are added to the form when you choose to autogenerate the fields?

    Add the data annotation "order" to the property of your classes (see below)

    i did test it and it does work, alas not all of the data annotations are working if you read this forum a little more.
    but again thankfully order does work.

    <Display(Name:="Start Date", Description:="Report Starting Date", Prompt:="Start Date", Order:=0)> _
    Public Property StartDate() As Nullable(Of Date)
        Get
            Return _StartDate
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Nullable(Of Date))
            _StartDate = value
            FirePropertyChanged("StartDate")
        End Set
    End Property
    Protected _StartDate As Nullable(Of Date) = Nothing

    thanks

    Hi guys ,

    Indeed setting the order attribute is the only way of controlling the order of appearance of data fields in RadDataForm so far .
    We are open to any improvement suggestions and in case you have some ideas on other ways it  can be controlled, do not hesitate to make a feature request.
