[Solved] RadGridView Column Header Name

[Gagan Jaswal]

I have a datagrid that gets a resultset from a WCF Service. Before this scenario I was using domain services and the following code in my model would work to set the column headers for the grid:

[

 

Display(Name = "Class ID")]

 

 

 

 

public int ClassID { get; set; }

 

 

 

 

 

( Using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations) 

Apparently this won't work with WCF Services. Is there any other way for me to set custom Column headers for my grid, preferably in the model class library itself?

Thanks

Hi Gagan Jaswal,

 The easiest way would be to handle the AutoGeneratingColumn event of RadGridView and set the column header from there. However, if you wish to do this in your model, you need to extract your business entities in a separate library and reference it both from your SL app and web service. That way the attribute metadata will be preserved. You can find more information on the subject here and here.
