Visual Designer Toolbar

This article is relevant to entity models that utilize the deprecated Visual Studio integration of Telerik Data Access. The current documentation of the Data Access framework is available here.

The Visual Designer Toolbar (shown on the snapshot below) enables you to customize the designer workspace.

The following options are available:

• Collapse All - collapse all items on the design surface.
• Expand All - expand all items on the design surface

• Show Grid - display pixel grid.

  

  When the Snap to Grid and Show Grid options are enabled, the grid almost seems magnetic. Which means that when an item or selection is moved, the grid points appear to pull on it when it approaches. This is useful for accurate placement of model elements.

• Snap to Grid - enable and disable snap to grid.
