Hi Jerome,

Generally, each column requires a DataMemberBinding, not defining an ItemsSource (an exception is the GridViewComboBoxColumn, which need a source collection). Consequently, you cannot specify a source for each column, but on the RadGridView.
So, in order to provide you with a more detailed solution, I would need a bit more information about your exact scenario and settings. Is it not appropriate to gather the two collections into one and set it as ItemsSource of the grid ?

Hello,

I'm looking for this type of solution as well. I have a radGridView with two columns Property and Value. I'd like to bind the Property column as a read only list of table fields. Then I'd like to match the table fields to the table data in the value column. In addition some but not all of the value fields should be read only. Also, it would be nice if I could display a drop down grid that contains a bound object for example the attributes of Type. In this example Type is related to original object and rather than just displaying a single bound value it would be nice to display the full attributes of the related item.

Example:
Property     Value
MyID             1
Name          asdf
Type           mytype
                      > > > >
                       Property              Value
                       Type.Name          asdf
                       Type.attribute1    asdf
                       etc...

Okay, I've just upgraded to the new release and there isn't much in the way of examples on using the new Property Grid. Any chance you can provide a small example of the situation described in my previous post? Is it possible to have two XAML bindings? One for the property and one for the value? I'd like the properties column to be read only. I'd like to include combo boxes and a calendar on some of the value fields as well as mark a couple of them as read only. Is this something that is typically done in the code behind and less in XAML? I'm also not planning on using the Description panel and I'm working on overriding it to remove it from being seen at all.
