## Add the Assembly References

To use the PropertyGrid component, add references to `Telerik.WinUI.Controls.dll` and `Telerik.Licensing.Runtime.dll`.

## Define the Component

To start using the PropertyGrid, you need to initialize it and assign its `Item` property. The following example shows how to bind the `Item` to an object.

#### **Define the Item Model**

```C#
public class DataInfo
{
	public int Id { get; set; }
	public string Name { get; set; }
	public bool IsChecked { get; set; }
	public DateTime Date { get; set; }
	public MyEnum EnumValue { get; set; }
	public ObservableCollection<string> Strings { get; set; }
}

public enum MyEnum
{
	ValueA,
	ValueB
}
```

#### **Define the PropertyGrid in XAML**

```XAML
<telerikControls:RadPropertyGrid x:Name="propertyGrid"/>
```

#### **Set the Source of the PropertyGrid**

```C#
public MainWindow()
{
	this.InitializeComponent();
	this.propertyGrid.Item = new DataInfo()
	{
		Id = 10,
		Name = "Item 2022",
		IsChecked = true,
		Date = DateTime.Today,
		EnumValue = MyEnum.ValueA,
		Strings = new ObservableCollection<string>() { "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4" }
	};
}
```
