[Solved] DisplayProperties not working

[Erik Damgaard]

In Silverlight, when I bind data grid column to a property and assign Display property, header of Grid column takes that value

[Display(Name = "FIXGroupId", ResourceType = typeof(FIXGroupText))]
       public short FIXGroupId { get { return _FIXGroupId; } set { _FIXGroupId = value; } }

 but in Windows 8 it is not working. Is this not possible or is there some other way to achieve this?

Hello Erik,

Thank you for contacting us.

At this point our RadDataGrid component does not support extracting information from attributes. I will forward your feedback to our developers for further consideration. 

Thank you for your time and valuable feedback. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions or suggestions. I have also updated your Telerik points.

Hello Erik,

Just a quick follow-up -- currently you can either set the header directly on the manually generated column as described in the documentation here, or you can use the GenerateColumn command to tap into the column generation routine and achieve the same effect for auto-generated columns as well.

You can find the relevant SDK examples here and here as well (in the second sample you need to set the Header property to the column that is assigned to the context.Result property).

Hope this helps.
