Question

I have a DataGrid in my WPF application. I was wondering if there is a way to show default values for a column in the datagrid. For example, I let the user have the ability to add new rows to the DataGrid. Hence, at the bottom of the DataGrid, there is always a blank, empty row for the user to add data to. I was hoping to have a default value for a column in this row. Is there any way to achieve this functionality? Thanks!

Let’s say ItemsSource of your DataGrid is a Collection of SomeClass and you are displaying different Properties of SomeClass in DataGrid Columns. What you can do is in constructor of default SomeClass assign the Properties some default value. In this way you can have default column value in DataGrid.

Edit

As you said the itemssource of column is a string there is one way I can think of..

Make it collection of SomeClass which will only have a string property. In the default constructor of SomeClass assign this string a default value. That default value will appear in your data grid column
