devexpress-xaf-filtering

devexpress-xaf-filtering is a skill for Claude Code from DevExpress/agent-skills. It costs 167 tokens per session (2,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding guide for filtering data in DevExpress XAF, a .NET framework for building business applications with generated screens and data access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to filter application lists and lookups, search full text, query through the shared object-space API, and create criteria in code.
Why use it?
It brings the framework's filtering approaches together so you do not have to guess which query, list-view, search, or lookup API to use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

devexpress-xaf-filtering scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DevExpress XAF — Filtering

This skill covers all data filtering techniques in XAF applications. EF Core is the recommended ORM; all examples default to EF Core patterns unless stated otherwise. XPO is also supported.

Composite skill: If the target project uses XPO, also load the devexpress-xaf-filtering-xpo skill for XPCollection criteria, XPQuery<T>, and XPO-specific operator classes.

Prerequisites & Installation

Filtering is part of the core XAF framework — no additional module registration is required.

NuGet Packages

Package Purpose
DevExpress.Data CriteriaOperator, BinaryOperator, GroupOperator, FunctionOperator, and all criteria classes (DevExpress.Data.Filtering namespace)
DevExpress.ExpressApp IObjectSpace filtering methods, CollectionSource.Criteria, FilterController, SetFilterAction, ListViewFilterAttribute
DevExpress.ExpressApp.Filtering SearchClassOptionsAttribute, SearchMemberOptionsAttribute — Full Text Search configuration
DevExpress.Persistent.Base DataSourcePropertyAttribute, DataSourceCriteriaAttribute — lookup filtering

All packages are included in every XAF project by default.

Using Statements

using DevExpress.Data.Filtering;          // CriteriaOperator, BinaryOperator, GroupOperator, etc.
using DevExpress.ExpressApp;              // IObjectSpace, CollectionSource, ViewController
using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;         // DataSourcePropertyAttribute, DataSourceCriteriaAttribute

Custom Function Registration

ICustomFunctionOperator implementations must be registered at application startup in MySolution.Module\Module.cs:

public override void Setup(XafApplication application) {
    base.Setup(application);
    CriteriaOperator.RegisterCustomFunction(new MyCustomFunction());
}

ORM Detection

Before generating filtering code, determine which ORM the project uses:

  1. Check for DevExpress.ExpressApp.EFCore or DevExpress.ExpressApp.Xpo NuGet references.
  2. Check business classes — EF Core uses auto-properties + DbContext; XPO uses XPObject/BaseObject with Session constructor.
  3. If XPO is detected, load the devexpress-xaf-filtering-xpo skill for XPO-specific filtering patterns.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
