I recall in Silverlight the ability to place an Attribute on a given property

I recall in Silverlight the ability to place an Attribute on a given property in the Model for an alternate display name when auto generating columns on a data grid. Is this possible in WPF? I don’t want to use the event handler to change the names.

    Found it…here is what I was referencing DisplayAttribute, however that does not appear valid in WPF, only SL. For WPF it can be done like this…keeping everything in XAML…

        <dg:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding DatabaseConnections, Mode=Default}">
        <dg:DataGrid.Columns>
            <dg:DataGridTextColumn Header="Display" Binding="{Binding DisplayName}"></dg:DataGridTextColumn>
        </dg:DataGrid.Columns>
    </dg:DataGrid>

    …this allows you to change the DisplayName property to get displayed as “Display” in the header of the DataGrid.
