[Solved] AutoGenerateColumns to false but...

[Marc Roussel]

Hi,

I did set the AutoGeneratedColumns to false so I can set the columns myself.  Here's my code :

 

rgvJobs.IsReadOnly = true;

 

rgvJobs.AutoGenerateColumns =

false;

rgvJobs.Columns.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn() { Header = "Job ID", Width = 50, IsReadOnly = true });
rgvJobs.Columns.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn() { Header = "Job Date", Width = 120, IsReadOnly = true });
rgvJobs.Columns.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn() { Header = "Job Status", Width = 50, IsReadOnly = true });

 

rgvJobs.ItemsSource = _Jobs;

 

However, the grid shows the right number of rows but all the cells are empty.  Any toughts ?

Hello,

 You may need to set DataMemberBinding for these columns.

Hi,

 Can you verify if you have all needed references: Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll, Telerik.Windows.Data.dll, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.dll and Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.dll?

Please post also more info about your grid version.

We're about to buy a few licenses and it's important to us to be able to set our columns easily by code not relying on complex templating and beeing able to change simple things like the Text shown on the GridViewGroupPanel.

Thank you

Hello Marc,

 Indeed you can do all these however I'm not sure why you don't see simple things like DataMemberBinding. Can you send us an example where this can be reproduced?

In this Repro, The references to your demo dll will not be found so reinsert them and also you can't compile since I voluntary made errors to shouw you that the DataMemberBinding isn't there

Repro Project

Let me know...

Hello,

Generally DataMemberBinding is available on GridViewDataColumn - GridViewColumn is unbound. Sorry I've missed this in my first reply.

Great.  With your help I've been able to mount the right line. 

Here it is :

 

rgvJobs.Columns.Add(

new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewDataColumn() { Header = "Job ID", Width = 80, IsReadOnly = true, DataMemberBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("JobId") });

So the bottom line is that you need to use the GridViewDataColumn for the Add and I was using GridViewColumn which was my mistake.

Thank you
