That's pretty much what we want to do. We want to be able to show a data grid of expandable content AND we want to be able to drag from one node to another node. For example, I want to be able to drag the selected row Francis Doe down into the North Dakota node. But I should not be able to drag Nort Dakota into Wyoming.
I can write this functionality from scratch, I feel pretty confident in wpf and have written some complicated drag and drop controls. However, I don't want to write it if I don't have to. My question is, if I purchased xamDataGrid would it get me any closer, how much could xamdatagrid support? Would it support the skinning, alternating row colors, drag drop and expandable content?
Hi,
The xamDataGrid from NetAdvantage for WPF 2008 Vol. 1 supports:
1. Hierarchical data . You should simply bind the control to a hierarchical data source as you would bind to a flat data sourse. For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Displaying_Hierarchical_Data.html;
2. Expandable content ( or ExpandableField Record ) . For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Terms_Records_ExpandableFieldRecord.html ;
3. Adding Alternating Rows Colors . For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamDataGrid_Adding_Alternating_Rows_Colors.html
4. Using Built-in Themes . For more information, please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Using_Built_In_Themes.html .
The xamDataGrid does not support drag and drop of hierarchical data. Unfortunately , you can not drag data from one node to another node .
If you want to become familiar with the key features and functionalities provided by the xamDataGrid control from NetAdvantage for WPF 2008 Vol. 1, please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamDataGrid_Using_xamDataGrid.html .

Is Drag/Drop across nodes still a limitation?
