Hi,

Anyone here who has experience with implementing the IListServer interface to enable ServerMode on certain DevExpress controls like the XtraGrid and LookupEdit in combination with LLBLGen (TypedLists or Collections) ??

This IListServer is an interface which enables a very fast way of displaying and searching through data in (large) tables on grids and/or in combo's. The IListServer interface is by default implemented in DevExpress' own OR/M tool called XPO.

IListServer interface http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/KB/p/A1022.aspx?searchtext=ilistserver&tid=4b2d6f97-c4ae-48fc-87f6-8c5da6541e40

Love to hear if any experience exists ?!

Kind regards, Danny

You may derive from the EntityCollection or TypedList and implement the IListServer interface.

I tried but gave up because of the lack of documentation and the amount of work it would need to have it working correctly (with all the possible sorting / filtering features). I also realized that proper use of paging would solve most aspects of the problem in my case because it's unlikely that the user will browse thousands of rows to find a specific record without being able to enter any filtering criteria.

Nevertheless, I would be interested if you obtain a result.

It indeed looks pretty work-intensive ... Maybe something we could develop together ? Like writing a special template ?

<Offtopic warning> @Dvk: While browsing your post, I noticed you location: Delft (Delftech). I was wondering if you are (like myself) studying there, or that you are a developer from a company located there... just curious to find out if there are any other Dutch students (or companies) that are using LLBLGen.

Quite right Michel, we're a Dutch software company on Delftechpark using LLBLGen as the primary datalayer generator for our main product.

Looking for work ? We're currently hiring people, a specially experienced with LLBLGen knowledge...smile

grtz, Danny
