Programmatic Aggregate

[Brice Mason]

Hello,

I am attempting to add a count aggregate function to a radGridView programmatically. I first tried to add the following code to my MainPage method as follows:

public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // load the grid
            this.radGridView.ItemsSource = EmployeeService.GetEmployees();

            CountFunction f = new CountFunction();
            f.Caption = "Count: ";
            ((GridViewDataColumn)this.radGridView.Columns[0]).AggregateFunctions.Add(f);
        }

When I rebuild my solution and test this, silverlight just clocks. When I comment out the code which adds the aggregate, rebuild and test, it works fine again.

What I am trying to do is test whether I am able to add aggregates to grids with autogenerated columns. 

As an alternate test, I created a button which when clicked added the aggregate function and displayed it after running the Rebind method on the radGridView. But again my goal is to have the aggregate display when the grid is loaded.

Hello Brice Mason,

I will try to reproduce the propblem here  , can you please specify the version of the Telerik  DLLs you are using.

Pavel,

Thanks for the quick response.

The version on the GridView DLL is 2009.3.1314.1030

I am using the RadControls for SilverLight Q3 2009 SP 2 which I just downloaded a few days ago.

Thanks,

Brice

Hello Brice Mason,

I found that adding an aggregate function in the constructor is too early when working with autogenerated columns  - as the columns at this stage are not initialized yet.

This is definitely something that needs an improvement by our side, so we are going to fix this.

Meanwhile I am offering the following workaround :

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.RadGridView1.ItemsSource = GetListOfItems();
    this.RadGridView1.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(RadGridView1_LayoutUpdated);
}
void RadGridView1_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.RadGridView1.LayoutUpdated -= new EventHandler(RadGridView1_LayoutUpdated);
    CountFunction f = new CountFunction();
    f.Caption = "Count: ";
    ((GridViewDataColumn)this.RadGridView1.Columns[1]).AggregateFunctions.Add(f);
    this.RadGridView1.CalculateAggregates();
}

Basically what we do here is to set the aggregate function once , immediately after the grid is rendered.
