I am binding DataGridTextColumn headers to properties of a ViewModel - which basically works ok:

<Control.Resources>

<local:ActiveCollectionViewModel x:Key="viewModel"/>

</Control.Resources>

...

<Grid.DataContext>

<local:ActiveCollectionViewModel />

</Grid.DataContext>

...

<Grid:RadDataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" >

<Grid:RadDataGrid.Columns>

<Grid:DataGridTextColumn Header="{Binding Path=ActiveQuestionLabel,Source={StaticResource viewModel}}" PropertyName="Question" />

<Grid:DataGridTextColumn Header="{Binding Path=ActiveAnswerLabel,Source={StaticResource viewModel}}" PropertyName="Answer" />

</Grid:RadDataGrid.Columns>

</Grid:RadDataGrid>

However, if properties are updated dynamically, these changes do not get reflected when binding is done like this.

Is there a better way to bind column headers to properties so that dynamic changes are reflected?

Thanks,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your question.

I have to admit that this is a bug with the RadDataGrid control. If you reorder the columns manually the display text in the headers will be updated. I have redirected this issue to our devteam and they will do their best to fix it for Q3 2013. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. I have also updated your Telerik points for your valuable feedback.

Please, feel free to contact us again if there is anything else we can help you with.
