Hi,

You have to set AutoGenerateFields property to false and add a layout with the fields that you want. Here is a code sample:

xamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings = new FieldLayoutSettings();
xamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings.AutoGenerateFields = false;
xamDataGrid.FieldLayouts.Add(new FieldLayout());
xamDataGrid.FieldLayouts[0].Fields.Add(new
Field("Value", obj1.Label));

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hey Diyan,

Here is an example of what I mean.  Lets say I make a call to some service and get back an xml response with some info.  I deserialize that response into a number of objects, which can be different each time the call is made.

Lets say each object has two properties, Label and Value.  I would like the grid to show columns with labels that match the value of Label with values from Value.  So if I have a two objects, obj1 and obj2, that look like this:

obj1.Label = "Parts"

obj1.Value = "17"

obj2.Label = "Parts"

obj2.Value = "12"

I would like a grid that looks like:

Parts

--------

17

12

If I bind my data source to the grid, the grid automatically just uses the object's properties to create the columns, so I see columns of Label and Value:

Label     Value

-------------------

Parts      17

Parts      12

I am assuming that I cannot achieve what I want just via xaml.  Do you have an example of what I am looking for?

Let me know if I am not clear.

Hi,

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but the grid will automatically generate the columns/fields depending on your data source. You don’t need to specify the columns/fields unless you want to do some customizations to them i.e. to change the label of the column. Hope this helps!

Thanks,
