Question

  <my:DataGridTemplateColumn              CanUserResize='False'              Width='150'              Header='{Binding MeetingName, Source={StaticResource LocStrings}}'              SortMemberPath='MeetingName'>    </my:DataGridTemplateColumn> 

I have the above column in a Silverlight grid control. But it is giving me a XamlParser error because of how I am trying to set the Header property. Has anyone done this before? I want to do this for multiple languages.

Also my syntax for the binding to a resouce is correct because I tried it in a lable outside of the grid.

You can’t Bind to Header because it’s not a FrameworkElement. You can make the text dynamic by modifying the Header Template like this:

xmlns:data='clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data' xmlns:dataprimitives='clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data'  <data:DataGridTemplateColumn>       <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle>        <Style TargetType='dataprimitives:DataGridColumnHeader'>           <Setter Property='Template'>              <Setter.Value>                 <ControlTemplate>                                                           <TextBlock Text='{Binding MeetingName, Source={StaticResource LocStrings}}' />                                </ControlTemplate>             </Setter.Value>          </Setter>       </Style>    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle> </data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
