[Solved] Add Column dynamically?

[Alessandro]

Given the following class types

public class Stuff
{
   public bool IsSelected {get; set;}
   public string School {get; set;}
}

public class Person
{
   public string FName {get; set;}
   public string LName {get; set;}
   public object Data {get; set;}  // an instance of Stuff will be assigned here.
}

1. I am binding to a collection of persons.
2. I have no templates defined for my columns. I will auto generate columns.

3. I need the grid to display the following columns

IsSelected, School, FName, LName

So I need to be able to dynamically add the columns, set there binding and types so that the user can check/uncheck IsSelected. However, I can add the column but only the text "False" shows as the value. Here's how I add the column. Certainly, I'm missing some pieces. Any ideas?

            GridViewDataColumn gvdc2 = new GridViewDataColumn();
            gvdc2.DataMemberBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("Data.IsSelected");
            gvdc2.DisplayIndex = 2;
            SearchResultsGrid.Columns.Add(gvdc2);

Hello Xavier,

You could try using our CheckBox column which might be a better fit for your particular scenario:

GridViewCheckBoxColumn gvdc2 = new GridViewCheckBoxColumn();
gvdc2.DataMemberBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("Data.IsSelected");
gvdc2.DisplayIndex = 2;
SearchResultsGrid.Columns.Add(gvdc2);

Kind regards,

Thanks Milan, that is helpful! 

Is there a list of the types of columns I can generate? I'm not seeing this in the documentation anywhere. Thanks!

Hi Xavier,

In the documentation of RadGridView there is a node Column. There you will find a lot of articles about the gridview's columns. There is a section Column Types as well - there you can find all the column types you can use. Please start from here.
