Hi.

I need my columns in my DataGridControl dynamically created via a collection in my viewmodel. Unfortunately I cannot bind the "Columns" property of the DataGridControl to an property in my viewmodel.

How can I achieve this dynamic creation?

Hi Raphael,

The best way would be to use the ItemProperty collection of the DataGridCollectionView instead to add/remove the columns you will want in your DataGrid.

By default, the grid has AutoRemoveColumnsAndDetailConfigurations and AutoCreateColumns set to true. Those two need to stay at true for this to work well.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

I used a DataGridCollectionView in an usual manner (as source for my grid) and had problems where the PropertyChanged event was not fired properly through this DataGridCollectionView when I edited a property. But I'll give it a try. 

Any another suggestions are welcomed.

Hi Raphael,

This could be a change notifications issue. Jenny's blog post found at the following link is a good start:

Other than that, I'm not quite sure what could be causing the issue. If you have a small test project that reproduces it, we could look into it further. Simply send it by email to support@xceed.com and include a link to this forum thread for reference.
