programatically add column & rows to WPF Datagrid

Question

Hello Guys,

i m new to WPF. i just wana know how should we add Columns & rows programatically to DataGrid in WPF. The way we used to do it in windows forms. create table columns , rows & bind it to datagrid.

i believe WPF datagrid is bit different the one used in ASP.net & Windows form ( correct me if i m wrong).

Basically i have No Of Rows & Columns which i need to draw in datagrid so that user can edit the data in the cells. let me know if you have any ideas.

Answer 1

To programatically add a row:

DataGrid.Items.Add(new DataItem());

To programatically add a column:

DataGrid.Columns.Add(new DataGridTextColumn());

Check out this post on the WPF DataGrid discussion board for more information.

Answer 2

I'm using DataGrid.Items.Add(new DataItem()); with the namespace 'System.web.ui.webcontrols' and still DataItem isn´t recognized by the program. I use ItemsSource bindings.

I was wandering if anyone knows why this happens.

Thank you
