Setting the datasource of a WPF Grid

Question

Hi, I'm very new to WPF, and am trying to set the datasource (which the WPF Grid doesn't have as a property) of my grid to take a List. Does anyone have any code examples of how to do this. I have googled it, but can't find any really good examples.

(Oh, and can anyone suggest a good site for all round WPF Code examples?)

Thanks

Answer 1

If you're referring to a WPF Grid, you can't bind it to data; it's meant for layout purposes only; you might want to look into one of the controls that inherit from ItemsControl, such as ListView.

The property you'd bind your list to, is called ItemsSource.

Answer 2

The other control you might be thinking of is the GridView

There's also the DataGrid (Note old link) in the WPF Toolkit which implements a lot of the same functionality as the WinForms DataGridView
