[Solved] Adding Checkbox column to silverlight radgridview

[Abhishek Chauhan]

I am using Silverlight 3.0 and I'm trying to add a column with checkboxes (to facilitate the selection of rows) to the radgrid using the following piece of code-

 

 

<telerikGridView:GridViewColumn HeaderText="Check">

 

 

 

<telerikGridView:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>

 

 

 

<Style TargetType="telerikGridView:GridViewCell">

 

 

 

<Setter Property="Template">

 

 

 

<Setter.Value>

 

 

 

<ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikGridView:GridViewCell">

 

 

 

<Border Padding="5,0,5,0" BorderThickness="0,0,1,1" BorderBrush="#FFB3B3B3">

 

 

 

<CheckBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />

 

 

 

</Border>

 

 

 

</ControlTemplate>

 

 

 

</Setter.Value>

 

 

 

</Setter>

 

 

 

</Style>

 

 

 

</telerikGridView:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>

 

 

 

</telerikGridView:GridViewColumn>

 

But its throwing an error-"Invalid attribute telerikGridView:GridViewCell for property TargetType".

I am not sure If I am missing any namespace or its because of any other reason.
Please help me to resolve this.

Thanks in Advance,
Abhishek Chauhan

Hello Abhishek,

You need to register Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView namespace. Here is an example:
    xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

You should however register Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace from Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView assembly with different prefix.

BTW: We are about to release our next internal build where you can find GridViewSelectColumn.

Thanks, but I already have the following entries in my xaml file-

xmlns

 

:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

Being new to Silverlight I am not sure if there is anything wrong with the above namespace registrations.....

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Abhishek,

You need following declarations:

xmlns:telerikGrid="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

and

xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

The column XAML will be:

<telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
   <Style TargetType="telerikGridView:GridViewCell">
...
