Question

I’ve just updated my app with the latest WPF toolkit and I’ve now got an issue with my styling.

When I bind some data with, for example, two columns to the grid, the header in the spare area at the right shows the name of the ViewModel.

So if I bind an IEnumerable with two columns the Grid Header looks like

Column1, Column1, [Namespace].MyViewModel

Before the Feb 2010 update it just used to have Column1, Column2 – the final space being blank.

I can kind of understand why, because the data grids data context is the ViewModel, whereas the Columns seem to have a different DataContext … but I can’t work out how I’m supposed to fix it.

I’m defining my header style as follows …

….

<WpfToolkit:DataGridHeaderBorder
    <Border BorderBrush="Blue" BorderThickness="0,1,0,0">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Margin="4,0,4,0" />
    </Border>
</WpfToolkit:DataGridHeaderBorder>

….

Do I now need a separate style for the ‘spare column’ or something?

Can anyone assist please?

Cheers,

Andy

We decided to move to a Telerik grid to get the group functionality, so never solved the problem as it stood. It was probably something in the mass of styles the program had accumulated!
