    In This Topic
    Class that describes the grouping of items using a property name as the criteria.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Class DataGridGroupDescription 
   Inherits System.ComponentModel.GroupDescription
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As DataGridGroupDescription
    public class DataGridGroupDescription : System.ComponentModel.GroupDescription
    Remarks

    This class is used by the DataGridCollectionView class to group items; however, it can also be used by the standard CollectionView class.

    The use of the GroupNames property is not supported by the DataGridGroupDescription class.

    Example
    All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise. See also examples in GroupNameFromItem method.
    The following example demonstrates how to group the data items by the ShipCountry and ShipCity columns. 
    <Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
  <Grid.Resources>
    <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                    Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                      Path=Orders}">       

     <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>         
       <xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName="ShipCountry"/>
       <xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName="ShipCity"/>
     </xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
    </xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource>
  </Grid.Resources>
   
  <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">     
  </xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid>
