Binding one Data Grid Text Column to different fields

JoannaLaroussi

I am using data grid to display a query results. Five of my fields are always the same, by the last one depends from the user input; for example, when user enters 01001 (InputPED.Text), I would like to display values for the column called ???S_01001???. Saying this I would like to be able bind my DataGridTextColumn to different fields.

Here is like my code looks like now:

<slData:DataGrid.Columns>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="200" Binding="{Binding Attributes[Street]}" Header="Street Name"/>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="80" Binding="{Binding Attributes[FromLeft]}" Header="From Left"/>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="80" Binding="{Binding Attributes[ToLeft]}" Header="To Left"/>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="81" Binding="{Binding Attributes[FromRight]}" Header="From Right"/>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="80" Binding="{Binding Attributes[ToRight]}" Header="To Right"/>
<slData:DataGridTextColumn CanUserSort="True" Width="50" Binding="{Binding Attributes[S_ + InputPED.Text]}" Header="Code"/>
</slData:DataGrid.Columns>

The last data grid do not returns any results to my grid. How I can bind to different fields each time?

Terry �?? thanks a lot for all your time and help. It is working perfectly like I need it. Here is my final code:

case "PED":
                        PEDQueryNewDataGrid.ItemsSource = featureSet.Features;
                        PEDQueryResultPanelGrid.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

                        //for binding field with S_ opt code in PEDQueryResultPanelGrid
                        foreach (DataGridColumn col in PEDQueryNewDataGrid.Columns)
                        {
                            if (col.Header.ToString().ToLower() == "code")
                            {
                                PEDQueryNewDataGrid.Columns.Remove(col);
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                        string bindName = "Attributes[S_" + InputPED.Text + "]";
                        DataGridTextColumn colPED = new DataGridTextColumn();
                        colPED.Header = "Code";
                        colPED.CanUserSort = true;
                        colPED.Width = new DataGridLength(50);
                        colPED.Binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding(bindName);
                        PEDQueryNewDataGrid.Columns.Add(colPED);
                        break;

TerryGiles

try something like this above the code which adds Code to the grid

            foreach (DataGridColumn col in PEDQueryNewDataGrid.Columns)
            {
                if (col.Header.ToString().ToLower() == "code")
                {
                    gridUnmapped.Columns.Remove(col);
                    break;
                }
            }

JoannaLaroussi

You are right. I worked on it and found the same solution. Now I just need to find a way to delete columns, because after each query I have one more column called �??Code�?�

TerryGiles

Sorry, last post was not quite clear.

For the Binding, it should still be System.Windows.Data.Binding(bindName). The control on to which we're adding the column needs to be of the type System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid....looking at your XAML that would be PEDQueryNewDataGrid. Try this code -

                string bindName = "Attributes[S_" + InputPED.Text + "]";

                DataGridTextColumn colPED = new DataGridTextColumn();
                colPED.Header = "Code";
                colPED.CanUserSort = true;
                colPED.Width = new DataGridLength(50);
                colPED.Binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding(bindName);

                PEDQueryNewDataGrid.Columns.Add(colPED);

JoannaLaroussi

I appreciate a lot your help!

I tired System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid

colPED.Binding = new System.Windows.DataGrid.Binding(bindName);

but it did not work: The type or namespace name 'DataGrid' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I am posting a little bigger chunk of XAML for context. The PED grid part is on the end.

The type of the control to add the column to should be a System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid; a System.Windows.Control.Grid is a layout container. In your original post, you have the XAML for the DataGrid.Columns - what is the name of the data grid those belong to? That's the name of the control that colPED should be Added to. Can you post the full XAML of the data grid?

JoannaLaroussi

I could be wrong but I think the binding is interpreted literally in the XAML, so it's looking for an attribute name 'S_ + InputPED.Text' in your underlying data.

Maybe in the Loaded event for the datagrid you can do something like this -

In the XAML remove the column from the grid

in the code behind
                string bindName = "Attributes[S_" + InputPED.Text + "]";

                DataGridTextColumn colPED = new DataGridTextColumn();
                colPED.Header = "Code";
                colPED.CanUserSort = true;
                colPED.Width = new DataGridLength(50);
                colPED.Binding = new Binding(bindName);
                // assuming the datagrid is called gridData - replace with the name of your datagrid
                gridData.Columns.Add(colPED);

Thanks for your answer! I changed one line

colPED.Binding = new Binding(bindName);

to

colPED.Binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding(bindName);

because of an error: The type or namespace name 'Binding' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

but I am still not there. I have an error for this line:

PEDQueryResultPanelGrid.Columns.Add(colPED);

'System.Windows.Controls.Grid' does not contain a definition for 'Columns' and no extension method 'Columns' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Controls.Grid' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I am using in XAML data grid and I am not sure that this error is about using data grid (should I use different kind of grid?) or I am missing something else in my code.

I tried to use regular grid

<Grid x:Name="PEDQueryNewDataGrid" Grid.Row="10" Grid.Column="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="Code" Margin="10" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>

But this did not solve my problem. Any ideas?
