Datagrid Header Text Binding Issues

[Muralidharan]

On trying to Bind the Header Text for the Datagrid columns fails to bind, 

telerikGrid:DataGridDateColumn Header="{Binding DateHeader}" x:Name="colGridDate" PropertyName="TestDateTime" gets filled with the property name instead of the DateHeader in the View Model.

While defining the header as

<telerikGrid:DataGridDateColumn.Header>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding DateHeader}">
                            </TextBlock>
                        </telerikGrid:DataGridDateColumn.Header>

also doesnt bind the value, whereas on Harding the Text. It displays it in the UI.(TextBlock Text="Date").

Kindly help me in binding the value from my view model.

Thanks,

Hello Muralidharan,

The DataContext of the Header is the column itself (in your case, its a DataGridDateColumn), so you need to set your binding to point towards the view model. For example, use an ElementName binding or x:Bind (e.g. Text="{Binding DataContext.DateHeader, ElementName=MyPage}" ). 

I've attached a project which illustrates the DataContext of the TextBlock.

I hope this clears things.
