I have a datagrid that’s bound to an observablecollection object. The collection may be a collection of Foo or a collection of Bar objects. Foo and Bar have different number of properties and therefore should have a different number of columns in the Data Grid.

Because of this I am dynamically creating the columns in my data grid:

 var cellEditTemplate = new StringBuilder();         cellEditTemplate.Append('<DataTemplate xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' >');         cellEditTemplate.Append(             '<CheckBox VerticalAlignment=\'Center\' IsThreeState=\'False\' IsChecked=\'{Binding ');         cellEditTemplate.Append(bindName);         cellEditTemplate.Append(', Mode=TwoWay}\'/>');         cellEditTemplate.Append('</DataTemplate> ');         var dataTemplate = ((DataTemplate) XamlReader.Load(cellEditTemplate.ToString()));         var column = new DataGridTemplateColumn                          {                              CellEditingTemplate = dataTemplate,                              Header = title                          };          grdCheckList.Columns.Add(column);

After I create all of the templates and add them to the DataGrid, I bind the data to the DataGrid. The correct data shows up. My problem is that I don’t get notification of when the checkbox is checked.

If I add

Click=’CheckBox_Checked’,

I get the following error:

Sys.InvalidOperationException: ManagedRuntimeError error #4004 in control ‘sl_Main’: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: AG_E_PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE [Line: 1 Position: 110] at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(IntPtr ptr, String name, CValue[] cvData) at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(DependencyObject obj, String name) at MS.Internal.XcpImports.DataTemplate_LoadContent(DataTemplate template) at System.Windows.DataTemplate.LoadContent() at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.PopulateCellContent(Boolean forceTemplating, Boolean isCellEdited, DataGridColumn dataGridColumn, DataGridRow dataGridRow, DataGridCell dataGridCell) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.AddNewCellPrivate(DataGridRow row, DataGridColumn column) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.CompleteCellsCollection(DataGridRow dataGridRow) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.GenerateRow(Int32 rowIndex) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.AddRows(Int32 rowIndex, Int32 rowCount) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.RefreshRows(Boolean recycleRows) at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.RefreshRowsAndColumns() at System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid.MeasureOverride(Size availableSize) at System.Windows.FrameworkElement.MeasureOverride(IntPtr nativeTarget, Single inWidth, Single inHeight, Single& outWidth, Single& outHeight)

any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick

  1. You can’t dynamically load XAML with event handlers already set up.

    I wouldn’t be adding templates dynamically in this situation. Instead, I would create two data templates in the user control’s resources, and have them key off of the type of data being bound to the grid.
