[Solved] How to get DataMemberBinding column name

[Berthold]

Hi, 

I want to use a ContextMenu to get the visible DataColumn and the underlying column name (not the Header!)
Since I only want the visible columns, I can not get the names from DomainDataSource (which is the data provider). 

Exp.:
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DateMemberBinding="{Binding ColName}" Header="ColTitle"/>

How to get "ColName" ?

Thanks
Berthold

Hello Berthold,

 You can get the binding paths for all visible data columns like so:

var names = from c in this.myGridView.Columns.OfType<GridViewBoundColumnBase>().
            Where(c => c.IsVisible).Select(c => c.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path);

Or you can also omit the Select part to get the columns themselves and then later on get the column's data property name throug the DataMemberBinding.Path.Path property.

All the best,
