Paging RadGridView

[Trump]

By the document, we can bind the pager as below.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"
        Background="White">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition />
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="radGridView"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}"
                         AutoGenerateColumns="False">
        <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" />
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding CompanyName}" />
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Title}" />
        </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
    </telerik:RadGridView>
    <telerik:RadDataPager x:Name="radDataPager"
                          Source="{Binding Items, ElementName=radGridView}"
                          PageSize="5" />

The question is that I can't assign the element name of the RadGridView. So how to bind the element?

Thanks.

Hello Trump,

You can replace the ElementName binding with a RelativeSource one or a Source one with x:Reference. Please note that the latter still requires the x:Name attribute to be set.

May I ask why you're unable to assign the x:Name of the RadGridView control? Please also share the exact layout of the controls at your end. Are the RadGridView and RadDataPager placed in the same parent control as is the case in the example you referenced? Based on this information I may be able to suggest a viable solution for your setup.

I look forward to your reply.

The Rad controls are inside my customized usercontrol component. The control already has x:Name. So I can't assign the name.

The exact layout is something like.

<StackPanel>
      <Grid >Some TextBlocks</Grid>
      <telerik:RadGridView />
      <telerik:RadDataPager />
</StackPanel>

I think that is to binding sibling question. Just no clue.

Thanks
