Hi,
I have the following situation: I'm bindind the RadDataGrid.ItemsSource to an ObserableCollection, which is templated with the base class of my data objects:
This collection was filled before with concrete data objects like
whereas ConcreteItemModel derives from BaseItemModel.
When I'm now adding DataGridTextColumns to the RadDataGrid, only these column contents are being displayed, which are bound to base class properties (BaseItemModel). All Columns bound the properties of the derived class are not showing any content.
Using a DataGridTemplateColumn instead, it works. But in this case I would loose all build-in functionality (especially the filtering).
Any help or advise would be appreciated :-)
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
Currently the RadDataGrid uses the type that is used on the initialization of the collection(in this case the BaseItemModel) as a contract. The only solution would be to create a collection of ConcreteItemModel objects. I will forward your feedback to our development team to further considerate extending the current logic.
Let me know if I can assist you in some other way. I have also updated your Telerik points for your valuable feedback.

Hi Ivaylo,
many thanks for your reply!
I changed my implementation regarding your suggestion by binding an "object" typed Property in the base part which is created and filled as ObservabelCollection<ConcreteItemModel>in the concrete part of my app. And now it works perfectly :-)
So again, many thanks for your help!
