GridViewDataColumn name vs header

[Gennady]

Programmatically i'm selecting cells in RadGridView based on row and column. Search is done by column name and cell value. Grid records binded to the model by record properties. In my case column name could be different from record' property name, ex. translated to another language. Im wonder if there are a way to handle internaly record's column names but show on the grid custom names instead?

Binding is done by behavior:RadGridCustomBindingBehavior.Columns="{Binding GridColumns}", so [DisplayName("CustomColumnName")] is not applyed to the grid

Thank you

Hello Gennady,

To achieve your requirement, you can assign the Header property of the columns. If you don't define the columns manually, but rely on the auto-generation feature, then you can use the AutoGeneratingColumn event of RadGridView, in order to access each column and set its Header.

Alternatively, you can use the DisplayAttribute as described in the help documentation.

I hope that helps.

Did update header in dynamic columns creation process:

.cs:

_gridColumns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn() { DataMemberBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("Name"), Header = "Full Name", IsVisible = true });

xaml:

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

behavior:RadGridCustomBindingBehavior.Columns="{Binding GridColumns}"

and it is working great.

Thank you, Martin, for fast respond!
