Hi:

I'm trying to bind a grid to specific columns from a LINQ select.

The following works:
                Report_Grid.ItemsSource =  
                    from z in kdc.entity_ColumnNamesForViews  
                    where z.ColumnNo <= 10  
                    select z;  
 
but the following does not work:
                Report_Grid.ItemsSource =  
                    from z in kdc.entity_ColumnNamesForViews  
                    where z.ColumnNo <= 10  
                    select new { Number = z.ColumnNo, Name = z.ColumnName };  
 
I get the following error:
System.MethodAccessException was unhandled by user code
  Message=Attempt by method 'System.Linq.EnumerableQuery.Create(System.Type, System.Collections.IEnumerable)' to access method 'System.Linq.EnumerableQuery`1<System.__Canon>..ctor(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1<System.__Canon>)' failed.

Hi Terry,

Binding to anonymous types in Silverlight is not supported currently due to the fact that these types are internal - you can check this post for more info.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the quick response.

So it sounds like binding based on any class not known at compile time is totally impossible in Silverlight?

I'm working with a business intelligence system where users can add new columns to views they look at every day.  I was hoping that I could devise a system where a programmer would not have to update the EF model and do a new build to accomodate these changes.  my scheme was to pass back the column names and types in one query, then pass back the column values formatted as strings with generic names col01, col02, etc.  Then on the client I would rename the columns in dynamic LINQ, and bind to the resulting object.  But of course the object I create will be anonymous, so it sounds like this is impossible.  Any time a user on the web revises a view, the changes won't appear until the application is rebuilt.

Is that correct?  If so, we need to find a radically different way of doing this.

Thanks,

Terry

Hello Terry,

You can check my DataTable if you want dynamic objects binding in Silverlight.

Best wishes,

Good day,

I am having a similar issue.

I am using the telerik control suite that comes with Dotnetnuke 6.1. Everything works great on my local development machine, but when I upload to godaddy.com, I get the following error while trying to load a page that displays information from a radgrid

A critical error has occurred. Attempt by method 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataTableFromEnumerable.ToGenericEnumerable(System.Collections.IEnumerable, Telerik.Web.UI.GridTableView)' to access method 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataTableFromEnumerable+GridGenericEnumerable`1<System.__Canon>..ctor(System.Collections.IEnumerable)' failed.

Please Please, Is there any solution to this?

Regards,
Afam

Hi,

 This is not related to RadGridView for Silverlight!

Please post your question in the relevant forum category.
