Hi,
I've installed the WPF controls (15.2) for the first time (first WPF Project...) and I'm missing the xamGrid. Because of conditional formatting I prefer xamGrid over xamDataGrid.
I tried to add InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Grids.XamGrid.v15.2.dll to the Toolbox, but there are no components which could be placed into the Toolbox.
What I'm missing here? Many thanks for your help.
regards
Erich
This is because of a limitation with Visual Studio. We are hiding certain "shared" controls, such as the xamGrid, from the toolbox to discourage their use. Since Silverlight is dead, there is no real benefit to using them unless they happen to have a feature that the WPF specific controls don't have. In your case, you prefer the conditional formatting. Luckily, Microsoft has fixed this in Visual Studio 2015 by adding a new attribute to support your scenario. We will get this fixed.
Hi Gergana,
thank you for the soon replay.
I've allready read this article and was able to manually add the xamGrid. If there would be a possibility to get it into the Toolbox, then there also would be advantage for configure the datasource and drag and drop it onto the form like you can do it with the xamDataGrid. That would save time for configuring the columns because they are taken from the datasource automatically.
Am I right, that there is no possibility to add it to the toolbox?
Hello Erich,
Thank you for posting.
I have been looking into your question. What I can suggest if you want to use the XamGrid is add the assemblies manually to your project. The needed assemblies you can find on the following link from our documentation: http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WPF/2015.2/CLR4.0/?page=xamGrid_Adding_xamGrid_to_Your_Page.html.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
