This time, let's take a look at these properties in more detail, to learn more about what the AutoCreateItemProperties and AutoCreateColumns actually do, and how we can use them to customize the ItemProperties and Columns instead of letting the DataGrid automatically load everything.

Welcome to this new series. This time we will look at the Xceed DataGrid for WPF. We will start slow with the basics, then cover various topics and features to learn how to make the most of the DataGrid in your projects.

Now that we have covered most of what can be added to a document, let’s look at how to use templates and automatically replacing text, as well as how to convert a document to PDF.

In this sixth and final tutorial of this series, we will look at how to add HTML/RTF and Shapes, to your documents.

In this fifth tutorial of this series, we will look at how to add Headers/Footers and a Table of Contents, to your documents.

In this fourth tutorial of this series, we will look at how to add Charts to your documents.

In this third tutorial of this series, we will look at how to add Tables to your documents.

In this second tutorial of this series, we will look at 2 more elements that can be added in your documents: Bookmarks and Hyperlinks.

Now that we know the basics of creating a new document and how to use different Sections, let’s look at the elements that can be added in a document. There is a lot to cover, so this will be split in multiple parts.

When a Document is first created, by default it only includes 1 Section. This default Section includes the 3 header/footer types (First, Even and Odd), as well as the default formatting parameters. When a new Section is added to a Document, it is appended at the end of the Document, and starts on a new page (a given page will never have 2 Sections overlapping on it).
