Data binding problem

[Ali Rafiee]

Hi,

I'm trying to bind an ObservableCollection to a RadGridView, but I don't see any rows in the GridView.  I've read the documentation and seen the sample and can't figure out what could be wrong!

The sample is a simple sample

public class SalesPerson
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public double SoldAmount { get; set; }
}

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
    public ObservableCollection<SalesPerson> SalesPeople { get; set; }

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        SalesPeople = new ObservableCollection<SalesPerson>();
        SalesPeople.Add(new SalesPerson() { Name = "Ali Rafiee", SoldAmount = 12.00 });
        SalesPeople.Add(new SalesPerson() { Name = "Neda Rafiee", SoldAmount = 123.00 });
        SalesPeople.Add(new SalesPerson() { Name = "Ryan Rafiee", SoldAmount = 1234.00 });
    }

Here is the xaml:

<telerik:RadGridView Margin="12,12,12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding SalesPeople}" VerticalAlignment="Top" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Amount" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SoldAmount}"/>
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

I feel like I'm missing something really simple.

Thanks,
Ali

Hi,

 The data is not populated as the SalesData collection could not be found in the DataContext of the RadGridView.

You could set the ItemsSource in code behind or set the DataContext similar to:

public MainPage()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
          ...

           this.DataContext = this;
       }

Hope this is what you need.

Kind regards,

Thanks.  I knew it was something stupidly simple.  I was under the impression that by default the DataContext was set to the code behind object. (In real life I use VMs.)
