The CMSDataGrid control allows you to display document data from the Kentico CMS database in a customizable table without the need to write any additional code.

 

The content is specified using its Path, MaxRelativeLevel, ClassNames, CultureCode, WhereCondition and OrderBy properties. Data is retrieved using the SelectDocuments query of the specified document type. These queries can be found at Kentico CMS Site Manager -> Development -> Document types -> ... Edit specified document type ... -> Queries.

 

 

The CMSDataGrid is derived from the BasicDataGrid control.

 

The standard DataGrid designer can be used to set up CMSDataGrid style and behaviour.

 

The portal engine equivalent of the CMSDataGrid control is the Listings and viewers -> Documents -> Grid web part.
