How to show row count always in first column in devexpress asp.net mvc GridView

Your partial view with gridview control may look something like this:

@using MyWebApplication.Controllers
@{    var gridHelper = new GridViewHelper();
    var grid = Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings =>
    {
        settings.Name = "MyGridView";
        settings.SettingsBehavior.ColumnResizeMode = ColumnResizeMode.Control;
        settings.Columns.Add("col1");
        settings.Columns.Add("col2");
        settings.Columns.Add("col3");
        settings.Settings.ShowFooter = true;
        settings.HtmlFooterCellPrepared = gridHelper.ShowRowCountInFirstColumn;
    });
}@grid.Bind(Model).GetHtml()

And in here is definition of class GridViewHelper

public class GridViewHelper{
  public void ShowRowCountInFirstColumn(
                   object sender, 
                   ASPxGridViewTableFooterCellEventArgs args)
  {
 
     if (args.Column.VisibleIndex != 1)
       return;
 
      ASPxGridView grid = sender as ASPxGridView;
      foreach (ASPxSummaryItem item in grid.TotalSummary)
      {
        if (item.SummaryType == DevExpress.Data.SummaryItemType.Count)
        {
           args.Cell.Text = string.Format("{0:n0} rows",grid.GetTotalSummaryValue(item));

           return;
         }
        }
 
       var countSummary = grid.TotalSummary.Add(DevExpress.Data.SummaryItemType.Count, "#");
       args.Cell.Text = string.Format("{0:n0} rows",grid.GetTotalSummaryValue(item));
       return;
    }

}
