Editable string list/collection

[Philipp Kraft]

Hi,

Is it possible to bind a string list to a gridView such that new entries can be created and the entries can be edited in the grid?
I am using Version 2009.3.1314.35.

Thank you.

Hi Philipp Kraft,

Yes it is possible but you have to create a simple wrapper around the string data:

public Window1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    var wrappedData =
        from str in this.StringData()
        select new StringWrapper { Text = str };

    this.playersGrid.ItemsSource = wrappedData.ToList();
}

// same string data
public IEnumerable<string> StringData()
{
    return new List<string>() { "one", "two", "three"};
}

// wrapper class for string
public class StringWrapper
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
}

Once you bind the grid to the wrapped data you will be able to edit the strings and also you will be able to insert new data by pressing the Insert key.

Hope this helps.
