[Solved] Populate GridView without binding

[Richard Harrigan]

Hello,

I am have created a GridView and its columns....see below.  What I need to know is how to populate each row with data.  I do not have a class to bind to the GridView, I have a bound string variable for each column.  I am dealing with a data table that has three columns, a table id, column id and column value.  I also have metadata that describe the table and columns representing a traditional datarow.  I am looking to build a generic process to display tables in a gridview.  How do I add data to the GridView in this scenario?  Can I add data to the GridView without binding?

Thanks
Rich


String column1 = String.Empty;
String column2 = String.Empty;
String column3 = String.Empty;

RadGridView radGridView1 = new RadGridView();
radGridView1.CanUserInsertRows = true;
Pane5.Content = radGridView1;

GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();
column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("column1");
column.DataMemberBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
column.Header = "First Name";
column.UniqueName = "MyColumn1";
radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
radGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

column = new GridViewDataColumn();
column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("column2");
column.DataMemberBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
column.Header = "Last Name";
column.UniqueName = "MyColumn2";
radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
radGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

column = new GridViewDataColumn();
column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("column3");
column.DataMemberBinding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
column.Header = "Age";
column.UniqueName = "MyColumn3";
radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
radGridView1.Columns.Add(column);


***** THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT WORK! ******

radGridView1.Items.AddNew();
                
column1 = "Richard";
column2 = "Harrigan";
column3 = "72";

radGridView1.Items.CommitNew();

Hello,

You can check our lightweight DataTable if you dynamic binding in Silverlight .

This is perfect, better than I hoped for.

Is is possible to two-way bind the DataTable and GridView.  If yes could you please provide programmatic sample code.  What I want to do is send CRUDs to the web service for processing. The web service needs to parse the row data into column data for database processing.  In the database a column is represented as a row.  Conversly when reading data from the database the Silverlight client will transform the column(s) data to a DataRow(s).

Thank you
Rich

Hi,

 You can read all changes from the grid Items collection - in case of the DataTable you will need to use reflection to get item properties. 

Kind regards,

Hi,

Could you please provide an brief code example that finds all rows in the grid Items collection that were changed, added or deleted. Also, could you provide a link to the latest version of the dynamic datatable.

Thanks
