Greetings:
AutoGenerateColumns produces no columns when the ItemsSource is set to a generic object list or collection. It seems that you generate the columns based on the type of the typed array/collection rather than the type of the objects within the collection.
The Integrated SilverLight GridView creates columns based upon the type of the objects within the list and does what i want - but of course it isn't near as cool as your gridview. I can see that there would be a failure if an empty generic list was passed though.
Questions:
* Could you modify your code to behave like the Silverlight GridView in this respect?
* More ideally - create a property that accepts a type that we supply and you AutoGenerate columns based upon that type.
* I'm using DynamicLinq to create ObservableCollection<object> collections, my types are dynamically generated and I would love to create ObservableCollection<RuntimeDynamicallyGeneratedClass> and supply that but I don't know how to do that at runtime, thus my generic collections.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Doug,
We are aware of this "problem" and will try to handle it correctly in the future.
What you can do right now is to create a ObservableCollection<> with your dynamic type and treated like IList:
I have done just this in a sample project I'm sending you. Hope you will find it useful.

Hi Jack,
This namespace has been removed and all the required classes are now part of the Telerik.Windows.Data namespace. If you want to use the Dynamic LINQ Library you can find it here. Also you can check our Silverlight's DataTable implementation here.
