Binding PivotSchemaDesigner in WPF Pivot Grid

27 Feb 20255 minutes to read

The pivot schema designer can be bound to the pivot grid with the help of the PivotControl property. After creating a pivot grid, a new pivot schema designer is created using the PivotSchemaDesigner class and bound to the pivot grid control using the PivotControl property. This can be achieved either in XAML or code-behind.

For XAML, refer to the following code sample.

XAML

<Grid>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width=".35*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <syncfusion:PivotGridControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="pivotGrid" VerticalAlignment="Top" VisualStyle="Metro"
             EnableValueEditing="True" ItemSource="{Binding   Source={StaticResource data}}" >

            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Product" FieldMappingName="Product" TotalHeader="Total" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Date" FieldMappingName="Date" TotalHeader="Total"/>
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotRows>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="Country" FieldMappingName="Country" TotalHeader="Total" />
                <syncfusion:PivotItem FieldHeader="State" FieldMappingName="State" TotalHeader="Total"/>
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotColumns>
            <syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Amount" Format="C" SummaryType="DoubleTotalSum" />
                <syncfusion:PivotComputationInfo CalculationName = "Total" FieldName = "Quantity" SummaryType="Count" />
            </syncfusion:PivotGridControl.PivotCalculations>

        </syncfusion:PivotGridControl>

        <syncfusion:PivotSchemaDesigner Grid.Column="1" Name="shemaDesginer" VisualStyle="Metro" PivotControl="{Binding ElementName=pivotGrid}"></syncfusion:PivotSchemaDesigner>
    </Grid>

For code-behind, refer to the following code sample.

C#

public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        PivotGridControl pivotGrid = new PivotGridControl();
        PivotSchemaDesigner schemaDesigner = new PivotSchemaDesigner();
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            grid1.Children.Add(pivotGrid);
            pivotGrid.ItemSource = ProductSales.GetSalesData();
            PivotItem m_PivotItem = new PivotItem() { FieldHeader = "Product", FieldMappingName = "Product", TotalHeader = "Total" };
            PivotItem m_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() { FieldHeader = "Date", FieldMappingName = "Date", TotalHeader = "Total" };
            PivotItem n_PivotItem = new PivotItem() { FieldHeader = "Country", FieldMappingName = "Country", TotalHeader = "Total" };
            PivotItem n_PivotItem1 = new PivotItem() { FieldHeader = "State", FieldMappingName = "State", TotalHeader = "Total" };
            // Adding PivotItem to PivotRows
            pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem);
            pivotGrid.PivotRows.Add(m_PivotItem1);
            // Adding PivotItem to PivotColumns
            pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem);
            pivotGrid.PivotColumns.Add(n_PivotItem1);
            PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo = new PivotComputationInfo() { CalculationName = "Amount", FieldName = "Amount", Format = "C", SummaryType = Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base.SummaryType.DoubleTotalSum };
            PivotComputationInfo m_PivotComputationInfo1 = new PivotComputationInfo() { CalculationName = "Quantity", FieldName = "Quantity", SummaryType = Syncfusion.PivotAnalysis.Base.SummaryType.Count };
            pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo);
            pivotGrid.PivotCalculations.Add(m_PivotComputationInfo1);

            schemaDesigner.PivotControl = pivotGrid;
            grid1.Children.Add(schemaDesigner);
            Grid.SetColumn(schemaDesigner, 1);
        }
     }
