Setting the Binding of GridViewDataColumn throws exception

[Ludovic Gerbault]

I have a source collection made of a lightweight datatable.

When I create manually from code behind the columns of the grid, I also bind each one of them to the DataColumn of the DataTable which has the same name.

The thing is, how come this line :

GridViewDataColumn col3 = new GridViewDataColumn() { Header = col.ColumnName.ToString().Replace('_', ' '), DataType = typeof(Decimal), DataMemberBinding = new Binding() { Path = new PropertyPath(col.ColumnName)}, CellStyle = this.Resources["gridviewCellStyle"] as Style, UniqueName = col.ColumnName, TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right, IsVisible = col.IsVisible };

throws an exception when col.columnName = "2009" ??

Hello,

Can you verify if the col.ColumnName does not have any blank space?

No, there isn't any

Here's the stacktrace

Hello,

I've just tried this and I've found that you cannot create Binding in Silverlight with such property name. For example:

var binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("1");

I've attached small application to illustrate you how to achieve this using custom column.

Sincerely yours,

FYI : It raises the same exception if there are column names containing characters like ° or /
