Our system provides a mechanism by which our users define their business rules outside of our code. Our front end applications adapt to these business rules by dynamically assembling all data entry dialogs at runtime. Since there are n-possible properties for a given dialog we need a way to bind the XML that we retrieve through are webservice without defining a class that can be use as an IList for the datasource.

Basically we can probe the webservice for the column names and datatypes that a the dataview should display but we cannot define a matching object in code since the activities and properties that can be defined are customized in our database.

Another way to look at this is to tell me how to bind the following XML(See below) to a GridView without the benefit of having an object that has the same column values. In the example below the <evt_mast_chemical> tag delineates a row and the child tags are the column values. Keep in mind that a new activity could be defined 5 minutes from now that would have a completely different column values. I do have schema information that delineates what each column value datatype is.

Hi Dave,

You can easily use my DataTable class to define any type of columns dynamically and the grid will work as expected.

All the best,

I added this to your datatable solution and it does not work. IT either crashes ie or the grid displays momentarily then the page goes blank

Hello Dave,

Usually page goes blank when you have exception - can you post more info about this error? Stack trace will be fine!

I think I found the problem...I forced the code to only process the first 6 columns and it work...So it has something to do with the number of columns I think. I can work around for now for my demo but in our final product this will have to work

I also found a further problem...your control does not like the column names to have spaces in them

Upon further investigation your control does not like most special characters....Do you plan to address this?

Hi Dave,

I believe that my DataTable does not support columns with space since there is no properties with space as to the grid I've just tried this code and everything worked fine:

    xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"
        <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Customer ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CustomerID}"/> 
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Company Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CompanyName}"/> 
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
        </telerik:RadGridView> 
    </Grid>

Hi Vlad,

I have been using your DataTable to bind the data from a stored proc/table. I am facing a similar issue with column names with special characters as mentioned above. Ex if I have a query like

Select EmpId, Emp_Name, Reportees as 'Reportees #', Profit as 'Profit %' from Emp

the column headers appear as per the aliases as in the query however the data associated with the column is displayed as blank. I tried this even with a regular silverlight grid and experienced similar output. Any help regarding this?

Hi Harish,

 Unfortunately creating properties with such names from these column names can cause problems.

So as of right now any columns that contain a /\ or other illegal XML characters cannot work correctly to display data in the gridview.
