Hi IGTeam,

I am in a need to dynamically create columns for my igGrid;

I bind to data from my ViewModel, which is of type ObservableCollection<DynamicObject>;

Just before the binding, I want to create columns on the View side like this:

1. Create collection of TemplateColumn

2. Send to View

3. Simply add columns to grid

____________________________________________________________________

1.  Iteration in for block (populate _dynamicGridColumnKeys)

TemplateColumn column = new TemplateColumn();
            column.HeaderText = presentingName;
            column.ItemTemplate = (System.Windows.DataTemplate)System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(CreateColumnTemplate(propertyName)); //display template

private string CreateColumnTemplate(string propertyName)
        {
            StringBuilder CellTemp = new StringBuilder();
            CellTemp.Append("<DataTemplate ");
            CellTemp.Append("xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/");
            CellTemp.Append("2006/xaml/presentation' ");
            CellTemp.Append("xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>");
            CellTemp.AppendFormat("<TextBlock Text='{{Binding [{0}]}}'/>", propertyName);
            CellTemp.Append("</DataTemplate>");
            return CellTemp.ToString();
        }

2.

Messenger.Default.Send<List<TemplateColumn>>(_dynamicGridColumnKeys, Preferences.CurrentGridName);

3.

Messenger.Default.Register<List<TemplateColumn>>(this, GridName, p =>
            {
                foreach (var item in p)
                {
                    this.customGrid.Columns.Add(item);
                }
            });

Can you please tell me why this works in System.Windows.Controls.DataGrid and I can't seem to fix it with the Infragistics one?

Please, this is important for me, I would appreciate if you inform me about this DynamicObject issue soon

Thanks
