Hi,

I have class 
 public class Param
 {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string[] Values { get; set; }
 }
My business logic returns an array of Param, i want to show Name as Property Name and show Values in a combobox as possible values for this property  

for example
            Param[] parms = new Param[]{
            new Param(){Name = "Test", Values = new string[]{"t1","t2"} },
            new Param(){Name = "Test1", Values = new string[]{"t3","t4"} },
            };

I want to show this data in PropertyGrid with properties as "Test", "Test1" and values "t1", "t2" in combo box against "Test" and "t3" , "t4" against "Test1"

Can i achieve this with PropertyGrid?

Thanks & Regards
Rajasekhar

Hi Rajasekhar,

In order to achieve this, you will have to add the respective property definitions at runtime, setting proper binding paths. Please, do not hesitate to ask us to prepare such a solution for you if you have encountered any obstacles while implementing it.

Hi,

I'm having difficulty getting the to work, it could be down to the complexity of our code or me doing something stupid.

Would you be able to provide a working example so I can hopefully find my problem?

Thanks,
Ben.

Hi,

I am also interested for a working example.
I am trying to display an Array inside the RadPropertyGrid.

Hi Steven,

Would you please shed some more light on your scenario? Do you want to represent an array type property within a PropertyDefinition, or you want to display a list of PropertyDefinitions based on seperate arryay entries? As a side note, it would be nice if you could confirm the current version of RadControls that you are using.

Hi Ivan,

I would like to represent an array type (IntArray property) within a PropertyDefition.
It would be great if I can use AutoGeneratePropertyDefinition.

Example :

public class TestPropertyGrid
{
    public string String { get; set; }
    public bool Boolean { get; set; }
    public int[] IntArray { get; set; }
}

Thanks,
S

Hi Steven,

Thank you for the clarifications. Currently RadPropertyGrid does not provide a native approach to editing colelction type properties. However, we have planned to introduce a new CollectionEditor for RadPropertyGrid with our next Q release. The current recommended approach in such scenarios, is to use custom editor DataTemplates for the respective PropertyDefinitions. In case you would be interested, I can contact you as soon as Q2's beta is released, so that you could check whether the implementation meets your requiremetns and provide us some feedback on this term.

Kind regards,
Ivan Ivanov

Hello Steven,

RadControls for Silverlight did not have a public Beta, so that I am writing to you now, when the mentioned version is officially available. Now RadPropertyGrid utilizes a new CollectionEditor control to edit IEnumerable type-compatible properties.
