Server-side Programming Overview

For a detailed list with the server-side properties and methods of the control, see the Server-Side API of the RadListView class.

Following are tables of the most important properties and event you should be aware of when working with RadListView.

Properties

Property	Description
AllowCustomPaging	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether custom paging is enabled.
AllowCustomSorting	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether custom sorting is enabled.
AllowMultiFieldSorting	Gets or sets the value indicating whether more than one column can be sorted in a single RadListView . The order is the same as the sequence of expressions in SortExpressions.
AllowMultiItemEdit	Gets or sets a value indicating whether Telerik RadListView will allow you to have multiple items in edit mode. The default value is false .
AllowMultiItemSelection	Gets or sets a value indicating whether Telerik RadListView will allow you to select multiple items. By default this property is set to false .
AllowNaturalSort	When the property is set to true the no-sort state when changing sort order is allowed. Set it to false to force only two-way sorting (ascending and descending).
AllowPaging	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the paging feature is enabled.
CanRetrieveAllData	Gets or sets a value indicating whether Telerik RadListView should retrieve all data and ignore server paging in case of filtering or grouping.
InsertItemPosition	Gets or sets the position of the InsertItemTemplate template when RadListView is in insert mode. The possible values are: None , FirstItem , LastItem .
ItemPlaceholderID	Gets or sets the ID for the item placeholder in a RadListView control.
OverrideDataSourceControlSorting	When the property is set to true, the RadListView control will sort internally instead of the DataSourceControl.
SortExpressions	Add or remove objects to this collection to set sorting programmatically.
VirtualItemCount	Gets or sets a value, indicating the total number of items in the data source when custom paging is used. Thus RadListView "understands" that the data source contains the specified number of records and it should fetch merely part of them at a time to execute requested operation.
ClientSettings.AllowItemsDragDrop	Gets or sets a value, indicating if Items Drag & Drop in RadListView capability is enabled.
