[Solved] how to build a gridview at runtime,

[reema]

hi,

In my application I need to build and fill a gridview dynamically at runtime,

For columns I used the bellow code and it works. Is it possible to add rows using the same way?

Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn[] columns;

columns = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn[record.length];          

  for (int i =0; i < record.length; i++)

  {

   columns[i] = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn();

   columns[i].HeaderText = record[i].record;                 

   grid.Columns.Add(columns[i]);       

   }

Thx in advance…

Hello reema,

Yes it is possible to add rows runtime . What you need to do is to bind the grid initially to an empty

ObservableCollection

<Record> initially when you create the gird. Later anytime when you add a record to the observable collection, the grid will automatically add and display the newly added item.

*Record here is the type of your record.

Alternatively you may use other type of collection List<Record> for example. However when the collection is not capable of item changes notifications you will need to manually call the Rebind() method of the RadGridView after adding new data.

Hello Atiq Ur Rehman,

Here is an example:

namespace SilverlightApplication1
{
    public partial class Page : UserControl
    {
        public Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            var data = from i in Enumerable.Range(0, 10)
                                 select new MyObject() { ID = i, Name=String.Format("Name{0}", i)};

            RadGridView1.ItemsSource = data;
        }
    }

    public class MyObject
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }
}
