TextControl.LoadDataFromModelAsync Method — TX Text Control .NET Server

Description

Loads a collection implementing interface System.Collections.IEnumerable as a data source.

Syntax

LoadDataFromModelAsync(System.Collections.IEnumerable)

Interprets all public properties of the objects in the collection as possible table columns and / or child tables. The type of the first object in the collection is analyzed via .NET reflection and used as the basis of the assumed table structure. For more information about using object based data sources see DocumentServer.MailMerge.MergeObjects. The method returns immediately.

Examples

The following example loads a small customer model into the server-side editor helper before the Razor view renders it.

var customers = new[]
{
    new { CustomerName = "Contoso Ltd.", City = "Seattle" }
};
var configuredEditor = textControl.LoadDataFromModel(customers);
Console.WriteLine($"Configured editor: {configuredEditor.GetType().Name}");

Dim customers = {
    New With { .CustomerName = "Contoso Ltd.", .City = "Seattle" }
}
Dim configuredEditor = textControl.LoadDataFromModel(customers)
Console.WriteLine($"Configured editor: {configuredEditor.GetType().Name}")
