I know it's not really the best way to do it, but I have a special occasion when I would need to add new columns to a datagrid using code and apply a binding to it to
For example, I got this :
<DataGrid x:Name="GridUtilisateurs" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Style="{StaticResource BaseGrid}">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Canvas Background="{Binding ColorActive}"></Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Usager" Width="*" MinWidth="50"
Binding="{Binding UserName}"
IsReadOnly="True" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
How can I do the same thing, but with code ? The main problem I have is with the binding, all the rest seems fine.
This is what I got so far, but I can't make the binding work. The binding 'path' I would have use in XAML is equivalent to oCol.ColumnName :
Dim oNewColumn As DataGridColumn
Dim oBinding As New System.Windows.Data.Binding
Select Case oCol.DataType
Case GetType(Boolean)
oNewColumn = New DataGridCheckBoxColumn()
oNewColumn.MinWidth = 25
CType(oNewColumn, DataGridCheckBoxColumn).IsThreeState = False
CType(oNewColumn, DataGridCheckBoxColumn).Binding = oBinding
oNewColumn.Width = System.Windows.Controls.DataGridLength.SizeToHeader
Case Else
oNewColumn = New DataGridTextColumn()
oNewColumn.MinWidth = 50
oNewColumn.Width = New System.Windows.Controls.DataGridLength(1, System.Windows.Controls.DataGridLengthUnitType.Star)
CType(oNewColumn, DataGridTextColumn).Binding = oBinding
End Select
oNewColumn.Header = oCol.ColumnName
GridData.Columns.Add(oNewColumn)
Next
GridData.ItemsSource = MyList
After a while, I finally got to understand what's wrong. I needed to use [Description] because I was given a datetable. Now that this is done, I have another problem though. Since sometime I need to have dates, I would need to use a DataTemplateColumn and I tried using one but I can't really make one work so far. Anyone knows how to do it ? Thanks,
