programmatically add column & rows to WPF Datagrid
I'm new to WPF. I just want to know how should we add columns and rows programmatically to a DataGrid in WPF. The way we used to do it in windows forms. create table columns and rows, and bind it to DataGrid.
I believe WPF DataGrid is bit different the one used in ASP.net and Windows form (correct me if I am wrong).
I have No. of rows and columns which I need to draw in DataGrid so that user can edit the data in the cells.
Solution 1:
To programatically add a row:
DataGrid.Items.Add(new DataItem());
To programatically add a column:
DataGridTextColumn textColumn = new DataGridTextColumn();
textColumn.Header = "First Name";
textColumn.Binding = new Binding("FirstName");
dataGrid.Columns.Add(textColumn);
Check out this post on the WPF DataGrid discussion board for more information.
Solution 2:
try this , it works 100 % : add columns and rows programatically : you need to create item class at first :
public class Item
{
public int Num { get; set; }
public string Start { get; set; }
public string Finich { get; set; }
}
private void generate_columns()
{
DataGridTextColumn c1 = new DataGridTextColumn();
c1.Header = "Num";
c1.Binding = new Binding("Num");
c1.Width = 110;
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(c1);
DataGridTextColumn c2 = new DataGridTextColumn();
c2.Header = "Start";
c2.Width = 110;
c2.Binding = new Binding("Start");
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(c2);
DataGridTextColumn c3 = new DataGridTextColumn();
c3.Header = "Finich";
c3.Width = 110;
c3.Binding = new Binding("Finich");
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(c3);
dataGrid1.Items.Add(new Item() { Num = 1, Start = "2012, 8, 15", Finich = "2012, 9, 15" });
dataGrid1.Items.Add(new Item() { Num = 2, Start = "2012, 12, 15", Finich = "2013, 2, 1" });
dataGrid1.Items.Add(new Item() { Num = 3, Start = "2012, 8, 1", Finich = "2012, 11, 15" });
}
