The DevExpress WPF PivotGridControl supports field binding. The Pivot Grid can be bound to a collection of objects containing field settings, described in a Model or ViewModel. The PivotGridControl generates fields based on field templates. Using a single template, you can create an unlimited number of fields in an unlimited number of Pivot Grid controls.

To choose the required field template, use the Data Template Selector assigned to the FieldGeneratorTemplateSelector property.
