Question

This walkthrough says you can create a WPF datagrid in one line but doesn’t give a full example.

So I created an example using a generic list and connected it to the WPF datagrid, but it doesn’t show any data.

What do I need to change on the code below to get it to show data in the datagrid?

ANSWER:

This code works now:

XAML:

<Window x:Class='TestDatagrid345.Window1'     xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'     xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'     xmlns:toolkit='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit'     xmlns:local='clr-namespace:TestDatagrid345'     Title='Window1' Height='300' Width='300' Loaded='Window_Loaded'>     <StackPanel>         <toolkit:DataGrid ItemsSource='{Binding}'/>     </StackPanel> </Window> 

Code Behind:

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows;  namespace TestDatagrid345 {     public partial class Window1 : Window     {         private List<Customer> _customers = new List<Customer>();         public List<Customer> Customers { get { return _customers; }}          public Window1()         {             InitializeComponent();         }          private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)         {             DataContext = Customers;              Customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'Tom', LastName = 'Jones' });             Customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'Joe', LastName = 'Thompson' });             Customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'Jill', LastName = 'Smith' });         }     } }

Now remove the Path=Customers from your binding, and it should work 🙂
