[Solved] change the databinded value dynamically of a datagridviewcolumn

[meena]

Hi,

I have a radgridview itemsource binded to a collection and each datagridview column having data member binding. I need to change one of the columns value dynamically based on certain condition, like one of the column is binded to temperature and its value needs to be changed based on an unit selection(metric/imperial units) , is it possible to incorporate the conversion of unit logic and binding the changed temperature parameter dynamically in xaml to the rad gridview data column?

Hi Meena,

How would you do this with the stock DataGrid?

Hi,

Stock data grid? Are you asking me to use this .Is this a solution or question?

Hello Meena,

My point was that this question is not very related specifically to Telerik controls. So, theoretically speaking, if you were using the stock DataGrid that has the same API and same functionality as RadGridView, how would you create this unit conversion facility?

If you want to change the value inside a cell, you have to edit the data item and accept the changes. You can do this programmatically as described in our documentation. As for the conversion of units, it would be up to you to implement this converions logic, since it really falls out of our scope.

Here is the help topic that describes how to programmatically edit values.

I hope this helps.
