Blank numeric cells support with autogenerated columns

[ColinBlakey]

I have the same issue to that mentioned in the following forum post (Validating blank numeric cells ) the only difference being that all of my columns are auto generated so I cannot apply the datamemberbinding xaml solution. I'm presuming that I will need to apply it in my AutoGeneratingColumn code block but I'm just not sure how. Any help/example would be appreciated.

Thanks
Colin

To answer my own question I managed to search on the correct terms and found code that worked.

The solution is fairly simple, in the AutoGeneratingColumn handler code you need to replace the current binding with a new binding to the a null value converter (see the link in my questin above for an example) that handles null values. In my case the code is as

var column = e.Column as GridViewDataColumn;

// Code to figure out if it's the correct column....

// New binding to the null value converter, taking the existing binding path
var nullValueBinding = new Binding(column.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path)
{
    Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay,
    Converter = new NullNumericConverter()

};

column.DataMemberBinding = nullValueBinding;
