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" });

        }
