adding columns manually in c#

[Isaac]

Hi,

I am trying your product and I need some help.

I have a List<DataClass> to set as the itemsource for the RadDataGrid.ItemSource.

But I want to generate the column manually because I only want certain member of the object DataClass to be displayed.

Say the DataClass has 5 Members.

FirstName
LastName
Age
Address
Telefon

it depends on some external event such that, say, in this particular case, I only want to show FirstName, LastName and Address.

Can you show me how to use c# to set the Columns properties, Header, or anything else I need to map this list<DataClass> to the DataGrid?

Thanks

Hi Isaac,

Thank you for contacting us.

Yes, the described scenario is possible. First, you need to set RadDataGrid.AutoGenerateColumns to false. Then, after this list is set as a DataContext of the RadDataGrid, you can manually add columns depending on your logic like this: 

DataGridTextColumn column = new DataGridTextColumn();
column.PropertyName = "FirstName";
column.Header = "FIRST NAME";
this.grid.Columns.Add(column);

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

 

All the best,
