The data transfer type is determined with the help of the property AutoMasterMode. The underlying enumeration provides the following values:

No Master Detail Relations are evaluated.

The master data is declared as variables and the detail data as fields. The project is reset internally by means of LlPrintResetProjectState, according to each master data record. In this manner, you can print several identical reports with different data one after the other, in a single print job, e.g. multiple invoices.

Master and Detail data are both declared as fields. In this manner, you can create group formation, statistics, and overviews.

Configures the export result format. Value Meaning 0: Every printed page will be exported in a single HTML file. 1: The result is a single HTML file (Export.File), containing all printed pages. Default: 1

File name of the first HTML page. Default: "index.htm". You may also use printf format strings like "%08d" in the file name (ex. "Export Page %d.htm"). In this case, the files for the pages will be named by replacing the placeholder with the correctly formatted page number. Otherwise, you will get a simple page numbering for the result files.

Path where the exported files should be saved. If this option is empty, a file selection dialog will always be displayed.

Returns the default export destination (for example "RTF", "HTML", "PDF", etc.) to be used (or shown in the print dialog).

Use this option to configure the possibility of exporting without user interaction. Value Meaning 0: Export with user interaction (dialogs) 1: No dialogs or message boxes will be displayed (only if Export.Path was specified). Default: 0

Specifies whether the export result will be displayed automatically. The program that displays the result will be determined by the registered file extension. Value Meaning 0: Result will not be displayed automatically 1: Calls ShellExecute() with Export.File. Default: 0

Enables you to hide the respective checkbox in the dialog. Value Meaning 0 Checkbox will be hidden 1 Checkbox will be available Default: 1

Activates sending of export files via email. This option corresponds to the checkbox "Send exported files by email" for the end user. Value Meaning 1: The exported files are sent via the specified provider (see below) Default: 0

Real sender's name.

Reply to address (optional).

Substitutes the sender's address (combination of "Export.Mail.SMTP.SenderName" and "Export.Mail.SMTP.SenderAddress") in the mail. However, "Export.Mail.SMTP.SenderAddress" will still be used for the SMTP protocol. Example:

LlXSetParameter(hJob, LL_LLX_EXTENSIONTYPE_EXPORT, „",
„Export.SendAsMail", „1");

This automatically sends the export result as email to the recipient selected via Project > Settings. The globally selected mail settings will be used. If you want to offer a default to your user, this can be done quite simply:

LlSetDefaultProjectParameter(hJob,"LL.Mail.To", "EMAIL", 0);

This example assumes that your database contains a field called EMAIL. If you want to preset a specific address, please note that you need to use double quotes, as the passed parameter needs to be evaluated as the formula: LlSetDefaultProjectParameter(hJob,"LL.Mail.To", "'abc@xyz.de'", 0);

Some SMTP server need a login via POP before SMTP connection (0=no POP connection will be established, 1= POP connection will be established)

SMTP server user name (if necessary).

Value Meaning SMAPI Simple MAPI XMAPI Extended MAPI SMTP SMTP MSMAPI System MAPI (using the default MAPI client) Default The default value depends on the system's or application's settings (see below) If the DLL cannot be found, the mail will be sent using system MAPI (MSMAPI). The provider is selected by either setting it explicitly using this option or letting the user choose in the LsMailConfigurationDialog(). List & Label first of all tries to retrieve the application-specific mail settings from the registry - if these cannot be found, the global mail settings will be applied. These can be set using LsMailConfigurationDialog().

Via ParameterAutoComplete, it is possible to give different recommended values to the AutoComplete feature of the formula assistant.

Adds a new designer function.

Removes a designer function.

Returns a designer function instance.

Designer function index

Parameter description for the tooltip help in the designer.

Data type of the parameter.

Add a design language to be able to localize reports in the Designer.

LCID (Locale ID) of the language to be added. The locale ID passed with the first call will be considered as the base language. The LCID is used as "Dictionary Key" for the corresponding dictionaries (see example in ListLabelDictionary Class).

All design languages are removed from the Designer hereby.

Describes if the Designer object can trigger page breaks or not. The default setting is 'false'. When 'true' the Designer object can trigger page breaks. See the events GetFieldHeightInformation and DrawDesignerObject to implement your own page break logic.

The description is displayed in the designer. It may contain space characters, which should, however, not be more than 30 characters in length.

Contains a collection of DesignerProperty descendants. These properties are displayed in the Designer and serialized to the project file.

The object's default font.

The object icon that is displayed in the toolbar and menu in the designer. It should contain a 16x16 Pixel size Icon with 16 colors.

Returns 'true if the Designer object is used in a table inside a report container.

Large ribbon image for the designer object (PNG with alpha, 32x32 pixels).

The name of the object. This is used internally as an ID, which is, however, not shown to the user.

Dictionary containing the object's properties. The dictionary is persisted in the project file and is automatically read when the project is opened again.

Small ribbon image for the designer object (PNG with alpha, 16x16 pixels).

Gets or sets if a contents dialog is supported by the DesignerObject.

Gets or sets the Ribbon tooltip description.

Returns the unit system (see LlUnits) currently set in List & Label. This can become necessary if coordinate conversions have to be made because the data source of the Designer object uses other units than the unit system set in List & Label. For example if you try to use a ListBox (uses Pixel) as a Designer object and List & Label uses 1/100 mm. Here the transformations become necessary to get a correct print result. See the static CoordinateHelper Class that can do necessary transformations.

This event CreateDesignerObject is triggered when the user creates a new object. If desired, you can show the initial dialog to the user. This can, for instance, be an assistant that makes it simple for the user to configure the new object. If you don.t want to offer this, simply forego processing of the event. The following example show the display of a MessageBox as soon as the new object is placed in the workspace for the first time. You gain access to the designer window through the event argument. The passed class supports the IWin32Window interface and can, as a result, be used for a MessageBox or another window as a parent.

After the user has edited the object, you are asked by List & Label to draw the object. The event DrawDesignerObject is triggered for this purpose. A Graphics object and the rectangle of the object are passed through EventArguments. Now, you can draw in the work area with the known GDI + methods. While doing so, access to the underlying object properties is naturally possible and useful. The sample listing shows the presentation of graphic file selected above.

This event is triggered, when the user double clicks on the newly added object or selects the item "Properties" from the context menu. Here as well, you can gain access to the designer window through event arguments, and a separate dialog can be displayed. In the example, you see the display of a file selection dialog. Here, you can choose a graphic to be displayed in the designer. The dialog is displayed by double-clicking on the object.

This event is only called if the Designer object is located inside a report container and is used for adjusting the height of the Designer object to print to fit the actual available height (see properties AvailableSpace and IdealHeight). The actual print of the Designer object is done in the DrawDesignerObject Event.

This event is triggered by List & Label if a Designer object is copied. There would be the possibility to copy specific properties (e.g. the data source) of the Designer object. The event is e.g. needed to allow List & Label to revert the last operations in the Designer (Edit > Undo) or if an object is copied by the user within the Designer. It is also called for internal administration purposes - e.g. when the Designer is started. Or if the real data preview or the export is executed.

Is called by List & Label to reset a possible data source which the Designer object is linking to. This happens e.g. if you call the real data preview in the Designer if you where in the Layout mode before.

Adds a new designer object.

Adds elements from a Dictionary to the collection.

The API function LlDefineVariableExtHandle is represented by the AddFromHandle method. Here, you can pass a handle in the form of an IntPtr. It is also possible to determine the description of the desired data type. Generally, it is the LlFieldType.Drawing_hBitmap. Remark: This method should be used only in special situations, such as connecting with Win32 API, if, for example, a component with unmanaged code delivers such a handle. In other cases, you can directly enter the respective Bitmap. The basic abstract class Image also supports a static method FromHBitmap, with the help of which an instance of the Bitmap class can be indicated on the basis of a handle.

Variable name.Variable value.Variable type, that has to be a valid value of the LlFieldType Enumeration.

The List & Label component allows the declaration of any type of data. The AddFromObject method is available for this purpose. This method uses reflections to retrieve the public fields and properties of the object and to pass them as variables to List & Label. The name of the corresponding class member is used as name, wherein you can also assign a prefix to a name through an overload.

You can pass extensive data directly from the respective source. For this purpose, the component offers the methods AddFromStream and AddFromTextReader, to which you can pass a derivation of the respective abstract class. In this manner, you can, for instance, register entire files with List & Label (FileStream class).

This key method handles the databound printing. Assign a DataSource to the component and call this method to start a print job. This overload allows to set the printer name temporarily for this print to the specified name. Please note the following: The printer will be set for all regions if there are multiple regions in a project. Changing the printer name is only temporary, as soon as the name is empty, the original printer name set in the project will be used again. If a Print("<Printer>") is followed by a Print(), also the original printer name set in the project will be used again. If an exception is triggered during printing (e.g. by the button "Cancel" in the print options dialog) which is catched in the code and a new print without a printer name is started afterwards, the default printer/design settings are active, not the printer from the cancelled print job.

Contains the file name and path of the project file that has last been printed/exported or edited in the designer.

Use this compatibility option to emulate the data binding behavior of List & Label 10. Use it in combination with AdvancedDataBinding=false to edit and print projects that were created with version 10. For all new projects this option shouldn't be changed from its default value "false".

Compatibility switch to revert the databinding behavior when binding to IEnumerable<T> elements to the engine used before version 15. Set this property to true if you have to support legacy reports. The huge advantage with the new default, false, is the usage of an appropriate data provider (see ObjectDataProvider Class). While the old engine generates a copy of the elements in memory, the new engine directly uses the passed in object, has a much smaller memory footprint and is remarkably faster especially for huge object structures.

Sets your personal license information. Important: Has to be set before redistribution. See perslic.txt for details and your personal license key.

Defines the maximum depth to where recursive data structures are resolved. Important for very complex relational or also self-relational data sources. If the value is chosen too high, the Designer call can probably take very long.

List & Label uses the Windows RTF control. As there are different versions of this control, List & Label has know which version to use. With this property you provide the maximum version number for List & Label to use. 0x100: Version 1.0 0x200: Version 2.0 ...

List & Label usually checks all function parameters for validity. You may switch off this check by setting this property to true. This can provide a higher printing speed.

Gets or sets the ListLabelPreviewControl used for printing (see AutoDestination Property)

Initial real data preview zoom factor in percent. (Default: 100; 100 represents the page width)

This property sets the table coloring mode.

Sets the smallest length unit by List & Label.

Returns a collection of all available variables.

If set to true, variable and field names are treated case sensitive.

This event is called when using data binding for all automatically declared fields. With the event arguments you can manipulate the name and content or completely prevent the declaration of the element.

Similar to AutoDefineNewPage, this event is called when printing databound lists for every row of a table before calling LlPrintFields. Here, you can declare additional fields that you would like to use in the table. Make sure that you pass all field names in the form of "<tableid>.<fieldname>" in order to enable List & Label can connect these to their corresponding table (e.g. "Orders.OrderID").

The event is triggered for every new page when using data binding. Here, you can register additional required variables for this page. The event is called internally before calling LlPrint.

This event is called when using data binding for each automatically declared table. With the event arguments you can completely prevent the declaration of the element.

This event is called when using data binding for each automatically declared table relation. Can be used for suppressing the relation.

This event is called when using data binding for each automatically declared table sort order. With the event arguments you can manipulate the name or completely prevent the declaration of the element.

This event is called when using data binding for all automatically declared variables. With the event arguments you can manipulate the name and content or completely prevent the declaration of the element.

Legacy event. Use ExportOptions Property instead.

This event is triggered to display the real data preview or export in the Designer. If you use databinding, you don't need to implement a handler for this event - the databinding engine does this automatically for you. See the DesignerPreview-Sample for an example how to implement your own handler for this event.

The event DrawObject is called for each object displayed by List & Label. The event arguments provide a Graphics object as well as the rectangle of the object.

This event is called in the case of list projects for each displayed page and allows customized drawing with GDI+.

With the help of this event, you can print additional drawings and elements for label and card projects. This allows customized printing. For instance, you can apply a watermark from your product's demo version to each print out.

Similar to DrawTableLine, this event can be used to apply a different color to each field of a table.

This event allows the modification of a table line. In this way, you can, for instance, create a customized colored and, if necessary, an alternating background (which List & Label provides too, but there might be reasons to paint it in this event).

The Designer function External$ allows offering of external functions in the List & Label formula assistant. Whenever the user uses this function, the Evaluate event is called, which evaluates the formula and returns the result or an error message. Usually it is preferable to use the DesignerFunction Class for custom functions.

This event is triggered when an expression error occurs in a project. The passed error texts can be concatenated and then displayed to the user.

This event is triggered by the databinding engine to notify the application of the print progress. It can be used e.g. to refresh a progress meter is a status bar. Be aware that the event might be raised from another thread and synchronize calls to UI elements.

Can be used to supervise a print job after it is passed to the spooler.

This event is triggered whenever a project is loaded in the Designer. It allows your application to keep track of the most recently used files.

This event will be fired every time a project is saved in the List & Label designer. Thus your application can react if a new project is created or an existing one is saved.

This event allows the integration of a customized Help system. For this, the event arguments contain the corresponding context ID. If you implement customized Help, you must indicate this to List & Label, so that the internal Help is not displayed.

You can support your users by displaying help texts for each variable and field. The event is triggered for the corresponding element as soon as the user selects it in the formula assistant and the help text is to be displayed.

This event is triggered when a button in the preview window is clicked. Here, you have the option to implement the corresponding function by yourself or accept the regular List & Label behavior.

This event allows you to manipulate the preview window. The event is called for each element of the toolbar. The event arguments allow access to the respective IDs. With the return status, you can determine whether or not the user can use the element.

Executes an action in the Designer. An action is the call of a menu item or a button in the toolbar for example.

Opens the specified project file when the Designer is open.

Assigns the window title in the Designer. You can use the format place holder %s within the text to show the project name.

Design languages can be defined in the Designer hereby. For further information see the DesignerLanguages Class.

Hides the given function in the formula assistant. Must be called before any functions are evaluated.

The name of the project currently opened. If you have created a new file through an action, it can be named in this way. Otherwise corresponds to setting "Save as…". Please note that this property is only available with a DesignerAction in an open Designer.

This function adds a table that can then be used in the Designer.

This method can be used to define relations between the tables added via the LlDbAddTable Method. List & Label doesn't directly distinguish between different relation types. You simply pass a relation and it's ID and can query the current relation later at print time using the LlPrintDbGetCurrentTableRelation Method.

This method can be used to define available sort orders for the tables added via the LlDbAddTable Method. Each sorting has it's unique ID that can be queried using the LlPrintDbGetCurrentTableSortOrder Method at print time.

If the master data is passed as variables, List & Label needs to know which table is the "master" table in order to be able to offer the suitable sub tables in the table structure window. If you set the master table name using this method, all tables related to this table can be inserted at the root level of the table object.

Enables the application to influence the tables, table relations and sort orders passed by the databinding engine.

Enables the application to influence fields and variables passed by the databinding engine.

The event is triggered when using DataBinding for every new page. Here, you can register additional required variables for this page. The event is called internally before calling LlPrint.

You can check the syntax with CheckFunctionSyntax. Here, you can check the data type of parameters and make sure that the parameters are, for instance, placed in a specific range.

The event CreateDesignerObject is triggered when the user creates a new object. If desired, you can show the initial dialog to the user. This can, for instance, be an assistant that makes it simple for the user to configure the new object. If you don't want to offer this, simply forego processing of the event. The following example shows the display of a MessageBox as soon as the new object is placed in the workspace for the first time. You gain access to the designer window through the event argument. The passed class supports the IWin32Window interface and can, as a result, be used for a MessageBox or another window as a parent.

This event is triggered by the print and design methods for transferring data to List & Label if no DataSource has been assigned. The event arguments are always of the DefineElementsEventArgs type.

Legacy event, use ExportOptions Property instead.

This event is triggered by the print and design methods for transferring data to List & Label if no DataSource has been assigned. The event arguments are always of the DefineElementsEventArgs type.

Is called when the user triggered an action.

Is called when the toolbar is refreshed. With this event you can define the state of the action.

The event DrawObject is called for every object displayed by List & Label. The event arguments provide a graphic object as well as the area of the object. In this area, you can for example hide or draw the object.

This event is called in the case of list projects for each displayed page and allows customized drawing with GDI+.

Similar to DrawTableLine, this event can be used to apply a different color to each field of a table.

The event EvaluateFunction has to be handled in order to activate the function. You can gain access to the parameters indicated by the user through event arguments. Use the following lines in order to return the total of both parameters, for instance.

Legacy event. Use DesignerFunction Class instead.

This event is triggered when an expression error occurs in a project. The passed error texts are combined and then displayed to the user.

This event informs that the last data record declared was not displayed as it did not meet a given filter condition. Additional event arguments are not offered.

This event is triggered when a button in the preview window is clicked. Here, you have the option to implement the corresponding function by yourself or accept the regular List & Label behavior.

This event tells you when the preview file is completely loaded. Furthermore the parameter isSuccessful tells you if the loading process was successful.

Tells you that the current page has been changed.

With this event you can enquire the printing progress to preview.

Via ParameterAutoComplete, it is possible to give different recommended values to the AutoComplete feature of the formula assistant.

This event is called every time the state of the print job has changed in the spooler.

This event is called when a project will be loaded in the Designer.

This event will be fired every time a project is saved in the List & Label designer. Thus your application can react if a new project is created or an existing one is saved.

This event is triggered when a button in the preview window is clicked. Here, you have the option to implement the corresponding function by yourself or accept the regular List & Label behavior.

By implementing this interface, custom data providers can receive the identifiers actually used in a print project e.g. in order to optimize queries.

Implement this interface to write your custom data provider. Basically, this interface and it's interface peers from the DataProviders namespace represent a relational database. Any class implementing this interface can be directly assigned to the DataSource Property of the ListLabel component. The namespace already contains a couple of concrete classes implementing this interface.

This interface represents a table within the database.

This interface represents a table column within a table row.

This interface represents a relation between two tables in a database.

This interface represents a table row.

This method is called by List & Label to set the identifiers (i.e. variables and field names) used in a project that is about to be printed. You may cache this information in your own data provider in order to e.g. optimize your queries.

A collection of field and variable names that are used in the project about to be printed.

This method is called whenever a relation is queried from the data provider.

The name of the relation to return. The parameter relationName can also contain a relation name that is not available in the data provider (e.g. in combination with the usage of a DataProviderCollection). In this case the return value of the method has to be null.

This method is called whenever a table is queried from the data provider.

The name of the table to return. The parameter tableName can also contain a table name that is not available in the data provider (e.g. in combination with the usage of a DataProviderCollection). In this case the return value of the method has to be null.

This method is called to receive all available relations between the tables of the data provider.

A provider can display if any base table is allowed in the Designer or if the hierarchy of data sources has to be maintained. A typical example would be customers/orders in a XML file. If inserting "orders" would be allowed on the root level, randomly only the orders of the first customer would be displayed. The below example shows how to avoid that for the XmlDataProvider Class. By that it is only possible to directly insert the customer and to insert the orders one level deeper.

This method is called to receive all available tables of the data provider.

This method is called to set a row filter on the rows of the table. The syntax of the passed in string is "<FieldName>=<Value>". The method will only be called if the SupportsFiltering Property returns true. If it doesn't, you don't need to implement this method and may safely throw a NotImplementedException. Be aware that your data provider will not be able to support drill down reporting in this case, however.

Filter string "<FieldName>=<Value>". If you work with combined primary keys, you will get the key field name separated by tab as well as the values, e.g. "CustomerID\tOrderID=22\t14". If this parameter is empty, the row filter should be reverted and all rows should be selected again. See also ChildColumnName Property and ParentTableName Property.

This method is called to set a sorting on the rows of the table. It will only be called if the SupportsSorting Property returns true. If your data provider doesn't support sorting, you don't need to implement this method and may safely throw a NotImplementedException.

Sort order name as passed by your data provider's SortDescriptions Property.

This property is queried to receive the number of rows in the table. It will only be accessed if SupportsCount returns true. If your data provider doesn't support counting, you don't need to implement this property and may safely throw a NotImplementedException. Be aware however that you won't get a progress bar during printing in this case.

This property is queried to get an IEnumerable interface of the rows contained in the table.

This property is queried whenever a schema row is requested. As long as you don't return an empty enumeration for the Rows property, you don't need to implement this property and may safely throw a NotImplementedException.

This property is queried to receive the available sort orders for your table. It will only be called if the SupportsSorting Property returns true. If your data provider doesn't support sorting, you don't need to implement this property and may safely throw a NotImplementedException.

This property is accessed to determine if the data provider supports a row count. You may safely return false here but will not get a progress bar at print time then.

This property is accessed to determine if the data provider supports a row filter. You may safely return false here but will not get drill down reporting support then.

This property is accessed to determine if the data provider supports sorting. You may safely return false here but will not be able to choose a sort order on the Designer then.

This property is accessed to query the table name.

This property is accessed to query the column name.

This property is accessed to query the column content.

This property is accessed to query the column type.

This property is queried to set the List & Label field type of the column. Can e.g. be used to provide barcode columns. Just return LlFieldType.Unknown to get the default behavior (automatically determine field type based on DataType).

This property is accessed to query the child key column name. Combined keys can be passed with the separator "\t". Your data provider should therefore deliver for example "CustomerID\tOrderID" and the corresponding child fields. In the ApplyFilter() Method of the ITable Interface the values are arriving exactly like that, a filter string could look like following: "CustomerID\tOrderID=22\t14" The GetChildTable() Method of the ITableRow Interface directly gets a ITableRelation Interface, so that you also have access to the combined fields there.

This property is accessed to query the child table name.

This property is accessed to query the parent key column name. Combined keys can be passed with the separator "\t". Your data provider should therefore deliver for example "CustomerID\tOrderID" and the corresponding child fields. In the ApplyFilter() Method of the ITable Interface the values are arriving exactly like that, a filter string could look like following: "CustomerID\tOrderID=22\t14" The GetChildTable() Method of the ITableRow Interface directly gets a ITableRelation Interface, so that you also have access to the combined fields there.

This property is accessed to query the parent table name.

This property is accessed to query the relation name.

This method is called whenever a sub table is needed. This happens if the user chose to insert a relationally linked table to the current table e.g. the orders of a customer. In this case, the method will be called on the customer table with the relation linking to the orders table.

The relation to the child table.

This method is called to access the fields of a parent table. Within the Designer, these fields are made available in a folder with a "1:1" icon. If your provider does not support 1:1 relations, simply return false for the SupportsGetParentRow property and throw a NotImplementedException for this method. Be aware however that your users will not be able to access e.g. customer data from an order if you have a 1:n relation between customers and their orders.

The relation to the parent table.

This property is accessed to query the columns of the table row. If your data provider supports the ICanHandleUsedIdentifiers interface, you only need to return the columns received in SetUsedIdentifiers Method

This property is accessed to query if the row supports getting the parent row for a given relation. See the GetParentRow Method for more information.

This property is queried to receive the table name this row belongs to.

This data provider can be used to access data from the following ADO.NET elements: DataView DataTable DataViewManager DataSet

This data provider can be used to access data from CSV (separated values) files.

This data provider can be used to combine multiple other data providers into one datasource. Use it if you have e.g. multiple DataSet classes from where to pull data or if you would like to have a mix of XML and custom object data.

Component that allows to easily select a data source within the IDE. Afterwards, this DataSource can the be bound to the DataSource Property of a ListLabel instance.

This class represents the connection properties of a DataSource.

This provider allows to combine multiple IDbCommand implementations into one data source. It can be used e.g. to access multiple SQL tables and define relations between them (although this is done more easily with the SqlConnectionDataProvider Class). Another possibility is to combine data from e.g. SQL and Oracle databases into one data source. Please note that JOIN statements may generate ambiguous column names in the result set. Set this property to "False" if you receive "Ambiguous Column Name" exceptions.

Abstract base class for data providers accessing the data of an IDbConnection. The concrete implementations in this assembly are the OleDbConnectionDataProvider Class, the OracleConnectionDataProvider Class and the SqlConnectionDataProvider Class. You can add your own custom IDbConnection consuming descendants if you can access the database schema information (tables and relations) for your .NET data provider. This class is serializable. In order to write your own descendant, override the Init() method and pass all tables and relations to the protected Provider member. See the example below for how this is done in the SqlConnectionDataProvider Class. As long as your provider conforms to ISO SQL, you shouldn't need to change anything else, the base class takes care of the entire SQL handling automatically.

Enables to tweak the autogenerated IDbCommand instances before they are executed on the database.

Attribute class that can be used in connection with the ObjectDataProvider. Simply apply this attribute to your class' properties in order to determine the field type to be used (e.g. barcode).

Enables the application to override the NodeType detection logic of the XmlDataProvider.

Enables the application to offer a variable recursion depth for the ObjectDataProvider Class depending on the property currently being examined.

Enables lazy property loading for the ObjectDataProvider Class. This event is triggered before the provider does examine the property and enables to late load property contents as they are actually required. See the MSDN documentation on loading deferred content for WCF or ADO.NET Data Services for an example.

This data provider can be used to access object structures. It is capable to work with the following types/interfaces: IEnumerable (requires at least one record, though) IEnumerable<T> IListSource In order to influence the property names and types, you may either implement the ITypedList interface on your class or use the DisplayNameAttribute. To suppress members, use the Browsable(false) attribute on the members. The provider can parse empty enumerations as well as long as they are strongly typed. Otherwise, at least one element is required in the enumeration and this first element determines the type that is used for further parsing. The provider automatically supports sorting as soon as the data source implements the IBindingList interface. You may also use this data provider to access LINQ query results, as they are IEnumerable<T>. When using EntityCollection<T> objects as data source the ObjectDataProvider first checks the state of the sub relation by querying the IsLoaded property and dynamically calls Load() if necessary. This way, the data is only queried when needed.

This data provider can be used to consume data from an OdbcDbConnection (e.g. an Excel file). This class is serializable.

This data provider can be used to consume data from an OleDbConnection (e.g. Access database file). This class is serializable.

This data provider can be used to consume data from an OracleConnection (from the System.Data.OracleClient namespace). As the connection object will be cloned multiple times, the connection string needs to set Persist Security Info to True (see sample below) if user/password authentication is used. This class is serializable.

Enables the application to override the default type parsing behavior of the XmlDataProvider Class.

This data provider can be used to consume data from a SqlConnection (from the System.Data.SqlClient namespace). As the connection object will be cloned multiple times, the connection string needs to set Persist Security Info to True if user/password authentication is used. This class is serializable.

This data provider can be used to access data from XML files. It will not use schema information in XML/XSD files and does not handle constraints. The main purpose of this class is to provide a fast and easy access to nested XML data. This class is serializable.

Adds a command to the provider, resulting in an additional table in the Designer.

The command to add.The name for the resulting table.The delimiter format for the identifiers. SQL server and Oracle use double quotes as delimiters whereas Access uses square brackets. For these types, you don't need to actually pass the pattern as it is done automatically by using the AddCommand(IDbCommand,String) Method overload. For Access, the pattern would be "[{0}]", as the identifiers in the SQL statement should be delimited with brackets (Select * from [Customers]).The parameter format. SQL server uses "@{0}" whereas Access uses "?". For the .NET framework connection types, the correct format is automatically chosen, for your own custom provider you might need to adapt the format here.

Adds a command to the provider, resulting in an additional table in the Designer.

The command to add.The name for the resulting table.

Gets or sets if a Cancel() command should be sent to the internally used IDataReader objects prior to closing them (default: true). SQL Server requires to do so for performance reasons whereas other .NET data providers (e.g. Npgsql) might fail with an exception. Use this property to disable the cancelling if you get unexpected exceptions.

Gets or sets if the select statements should be adapted at print time to select only those fields actually required by the project. For performance reasons, this property should normally be left at it's default true. Please note that JOIN statements may generate ambiguous column names in the result set. Set this property to "False" if you receive "Ambiguous Column Name" exceptions.

Gets or sets if the provider should support the Count Property and thus be able to display a progress bar at print time (default: true). Set it to false if performance and minimal server load has absolute priority for your application.

Gets or sets if the provider should support the GetParentRow Method. While doing so is the default, the Designer performance and experience for large databases with many fields and tables can be improved considerably by setting it to false.

A provider can display if any base table is allowed in the Designer or if the hierarchy of data sources has to be maintained. (Default: False)

Gets or sets if the provider should support the SetSortOrder Method. With this property set to default (true), an ascending and descending sorting for all fields will be offered. If you want to prevent the user from sorting (and save server load by not having to sort select results), set this property to false.

This event allows to edit the DbCommand before it is executed on the database.

Returns the path to the current property, e.g. Customer>Orders>OrderDetails>Products

Property name.

The actual object for which the property is being requested.

Initializes the data provider to access the data of the passed object. Also the maximum recursion depth can be passed.

The object to use as data source.Maximum recursion depth.

Initializes the data provider to access the data of the passed object.

The object to use as data source.

This property sets up to which recursion depth relations should be resolved. An example would be a class "Person" which itself has a list <Person> as a member. (Default: 10)

Allows to declare an object that is to be used for the structure parsing. That is especially helpful if no strongly typed objects are used the reflection does not depend on the concrete contents to determine the data structure. A "completely filled" object can be provided with this property, without the data actually being printed.

The names for the tables are usually determined by the property names, i.e. if a Person has a List<Addresses> property called "Addresses", this will be the name of the table object made available in the Designer. However, for the "root" object, there is no such property name. Thus, you may set the table name via this property. The default value for this property is the type name of the source object or - if it is a generic type - the type name of the first generic parameter.

With this event every object (table) gets the path to determine in which layer it currently is. Additionally you can define that further iterations on this layer should not be executed to be able to further filter the data source.

Enables lazy property loading. This event is triggered before the provider does examine the property and enables to late load property contents as they are actually required. See the MSDN documentation on loading deferred content for WCF or ADO.NET Data Services for an example.

Initializes the data provider to access the data from the passed OleDbConnection.

The IXPathNavigable to use (e.g. XPathDocument).IXmlNamespaceResolverXmlNamespaceManager

Initializes the data provider to access the data in the specified IXPathNavigable.

The IXPathNavigable to use (e.g. XPathDocument).

Initializes the data provider. When using this constructor you have to make sure that either the Document or the Uri property are set to a valid value, before calling Design() or Print(). This constructor is mainly intended for serialization scenarios.

The IXPathNavigable to use (e.g. XPathDocument). (Default: Null)

Gets or sets if the structure of the XML should be parsed as flat as possible. Without this setting, a structure like <xml>
<Company>
<Address>
Untere Laube 30
</Address>
</Company>
</xml> would trigger the creation of a "Company" table and a subordinate "Address" table in the data source. If you set this property to "true", you'll get a "Company" table and a string field "Address" within it.

Gets or sets if the whole XML file should be parsed to determine the available fields and tables or if just the first element should be parsed. If you can make sure that all your XML elements contain the same fields and attributes, you can increase Designer startup performance especially for huge files by setting this property to true. However, if attributes may be present on one element but missing on the first (e.g. a person might have an <Adresses> sub-element but the first person has no addresses), you should leave this property at it's default setting - false.

The path of the file that contains the XML data. (Default: Null)

Gets or sets the field name to be used for the actual value. While attributes are a convenient way to name values, the XML structure may also contain tags like <Person Age="27">John Doe</Person> This property determines the field name for "John Doe", in this case, "Name" would be appropriate as value. The default value for this property is "value". Please note that this property has to be set before you pass the provider as data source to List & Label.

A large number of different chart types are available and can be used for diverse applications. Most chart types have different sub-types.
In general, a distinction is made between three and two axis charts. Three axis charts have three data axes and can be used to visualize the sales range per month and employee, for example. A two axis chart has only two data axes and shows e.g. the sales range for the whole company over a number of months.
A selection of options: Many properties can be defined by formula. Thus the label or label size can be dependent on the content. The background of a chart can be filled with a color gradient and / or zebra pattern. The boundary around a chart can also have rounded corners and a shadow. Separating lines between the pie segments of a pie chart can be activated and deactivated. The filling of the pie segments of a pie chart can be given a color gradient (3D effect).
