I am posting this in case it is helpful to anyone. It solves the following cases:
- Renamed/removed/added properties in your Classes
- Removed unused columns from the Layout
Your user will just need to save the Layout once.
privatevoidRadGridViewReportData_DataBindingComplete(objectsender, GridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e){ if(File.Exists(_layout)) { radGridViewReportData.LoadLayout(_layout); // A System.Type var reportProperties = _report.GetDataSourceType().GetProperties().ToArray(); foreach(var prop inreportProperties) { if(!radGridViewReportData.Columns.Contains(prop.Name)) { // Add columns to the Grid GridViewDataColumn dataColumn = GridViewHelper.AutoGenerateGridColumn(prop.PropertyType, null); dataColumn.Name = prop.Name; dataColumn.FieldName = prop.Name; dataColumn.HeaderText = ToCamelCaseWithSpaces(prop.Name); radGridViewReportData.Columns.Add(dataColumn); } } foreach(var col inradGridViewReportData.Columns.ToArray()) { if(reportProperties.Single(x => x.Name == col.FieldName) == null) { // Remove columns from the Grid radGridViewReportData.Columns.Remove(col); } } } else { foreach(GridViewDataColumn i inradGridViewReportData.Columns) { i.HeaderText = ToCamelCaseWithSpaces(i.HeaderText); } radGridViewReportData.BestFitColumns(); }}
