[Solved] Add a DataTemplate to a GridVeiwColumn in C#

[Adrian]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a DataTemplate to a cell. Works fine in XAML, but how can I do the same thing in code behind?
This is my XAML example:

<telerikGrid:RadGridView x:Name="gridView" Margin="12,40,12,0" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataLoadMode="Asynchronous">
 <telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
   <telerikGrid:GridViewColumn Header="user" Width="130">
     <telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
       <StackPanel Width="auto" Height="25" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal">
           <TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding UserName}" x:Name="nameColumn" />
         </StackPanel>
         </DataTemplate>
       </telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
   </telerikGrid:GridViewColumn>
 </telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerikGrid:RadGridView>

I've got problems adding the Stackpanel to the DataTemplate.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Adrian,

The easiest way will be to define the DataTemplate in the Resources section of the UserControl for example and set it as a CellTemplate:

XAML:
<UserControl.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="MyDataTemplate">
        <StackPanel Width="auto" Height="25" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding Name}"  />
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>

C#:
    GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();
    column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Name");
    column.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.Resources["MyDataTemplate"];

    this.playersGrid.Columns.Add(column);

 

Best wishes,
