Binding columns with data from orm list

[Sam Ur]

Hi everyone, I'm newbie when it comes to WPF so i have some - maybe too basic question, but still. 
I have a question on how to populate specific columns in radgrid view with columns in List that i got from my orm model.

For example - this is my code behind to set datacontext of a grid view P.S. I would like to put that into resources:

public partial class MyClass : Page
    {
        public List<MyTable> myList { get; set; }

        public Drzava()
        {
            using (MyModel dbContext = new MyModel())
            {
                myList = dbContext.MyTable.ToList();

            }
            InitializeComponent();

            myGridView.DataContext = myList;
        }
    }

if I set ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=myPage,Path=myList}" , i get populated all the columns, but i only want specific ones...so i tried somethink like that:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="myGridView" Margin="12,65,12,12" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=myPage,Path=myList}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">

            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

                <telerik:GridViewColumn DataContext="{Binding Path=Id}"></telerik:GridViewColumn>

            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

        </telerik:RadGridView>


But I cannot get it to work...
Thank you in advance for the reply and help.

Hi Sam Ur,

 You need the DataMemberBinding property of GridViewDataColumn, not DataContext.

Hi Yavor, yeah that did it...damn it i was like busting my head for days because i was using gridviewcolumn instead of gridviewdatacolumn.
This...

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Id}"  />

Did the trick...thanks.
Oh can i ask another question...how can i set orm objects in XAML, maybe with the use of collectionview and collectionview source or something like that.

Thank you again!

Hi Sam Ur,

 Please check out this forum thread. It shows how to bind a RadGridView to the View of a CollectionViewSource. Even though the project is for Silverlight, you can use the exact same approach in WPF.
