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-views 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 — Views

Views are the primary UI elements in XAF that display data. XAF auto-generates Views from the Application Model and business classes.

Prerequisites & Installation

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

NuGet Packages (already included in XAF projects)

Package Purpose
DevExpress.ExpressApp ListView, DetailView, DashboardView, ShowViewParameters, CollectionSource, CollectionSourceDataAccessMode
DevExpress.Persistent.Base [DefaultClassOptions], [NavigationItem], [VisibleInListView], [VisibleInDetailView]

Where to Place View-Related Code

Code Type Location
Controllers that create/show views MySolution.Module\Controllers\ (platform-agnostic)
Platform-specific UI customization MySolution.Blazor.Server\Controllers\ or MySolution.Win\Controllers\
Non-persistent objects for custom views MySolution.Module\BusinessObjects\

Using Statements

using DevExpress.ExpressApp;           // ListView, DetailView, DashboardView, ShowViewParameters
using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;      // DefaultClassOptionsAttribute, NavigationItemAttribute
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.SystemModule; // NavigationItemNodeGenerator, ShowNavigationItemController

Key Namespaces

Types Namespace
ListView, DetailView, DashboardView, ShowViewParameters, TargetWindow, CollectionSourceDataAccessMode DevExpress.ExpressApp
[DefaultClassOptions], [NavigationItem] DevExpress.Persistent.Base
NavigationItemNodeGenerator DevExpress.ExpressApp.SystemModule

ORM Detection

XPO vs EF Core affects default data access mode selection. Both ORMs support all 7 data access modes. When XPO is detected, the XPO-specific cast ((XPObjectSpace)objectSpace).Session is used inside views/controllers to access the underlying Session.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
