GridView to edit Dictionary

[Chris]

Hi, I'm new to telerik and I would like to ask a question here in the forum.

Basically, I would like to make  "Property Editor" using Dictionary and RadGridView.

I'm using Dictionary because all I have is bunch of key/value pairs and entries/definition can frequently change. I thought Dictionary was perfect for this.

The below source code works to bind Dictionary in RadGridView but editing value would not work. Any changes made in RadGridView will not change the values in the Dictionary.
It is obvious that Dictionary doesn't support two-way binding.
I'm was wondering how I can enable Dictionary to edit values.
Is there a trick to do that?

If Dictionary inheritantely does not allow two-way/one-way binding, could you please give a suggestion how I can emulate Dictionary like functionality?

Thank you very much.

publicvoid
 ShowEntityProperties(OrderedDictionary propertyDict)
  {
   PropertyGridView.ItemsSource = null;
   PropertyGridView.Items.Clear();
   PropertyGridView.ItemsSource = propertyDict;

Hello Chris ,

You may need to provide some kind of  ViewModel as intermediary object between RadGridView and your Data.
This should be an object which RadGridView can edit . Then on property changes inside the object , you may perform logic to update your original data.

I thought it was pretty common operation but it seems pretty difficult for me to tackle.
Can you please show me some examples that can lead to the solution?
I appreciate for your help.
Thanks
