Dynamic Columns
posted

Hello Infragistics team,

I am trying to bind the xamdatagrid to an observablecollection which contains a child observablecollection with dynamic columns. The columns for the child observablecollection do appear in the xamdatagrid, however, the values in all the records added to the collection are not visible in the grid.

Below is my source code:

-This is the code in my ViewModel:

dynamic employee = new Employee();
employee.FirstName = "Michael";
employee.LastName = "Jordan";
employee.SecondName = "Jordan2";
Employees.Add(employee);
dynamic employee2 = new Employee();
employee2.FirstName = "Max";
employee2.LastName = "Headroom";
employee2.SecondName = "Jordan3";
Employees.Add(employee2);

Employees employees = new Employees();
public Employees Employees
{
get { return employees; }
set { employees = value; OnPropertyChanged("Employees"); }
}

-Below is the code for the observablecollection class with dynamic properties

public class Employees : ObservableCollection<dynamic>, ITypedList
{
#region ITypedList

public PropertyDescriptorCollection GetItemProperties(PropertyDescriptor[] listAccessors)
{
ICustomTypeDescriptor emp = this.First();
return emp.GetProperties();
}

public string GetListName(PropertyDescriptor[] listAccessors)
{
return null;
}

#endregion ITypedList
}

public class Employee : DynamicObject, ICustomTypeDescriptor, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

private void NotifyPropertyChanged(string property)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}

#region DynamicObject

public Dictionary<string, object> properties = new Dictionary<string, object>();

public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)
{
if (properties.ContainsKey(binder.Name))
{
result = properties[binder.Name];
return true;
}
else
{
result = "Invalid Property!";
return false;
}
}

public override bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value)
{
properties[binder.Name] = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged(binder.Name);
return true;
}

public override bool TryInvokeMember(InvokeMemberBinder binder, object[] args, out object result)
{
dynamic method = properties[binder.Name];
result = method(args[0].ToString(), args[1].ToString());
return true;
}

#endregion DynamicObject

public bool RemoveProperty(string property)
{
return properties.Remove(property);
}

#region ICustomTypeDescriptor

public AttributeCollection GetAttributes()

throw new NotImplementedException();

}

public PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties()
{
return ((ICustomTypeDescriptor)this).GetProperties(null);
}

public PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties(Attribute[] attributes)
{
PropertyDescriptorCollection props = new PropertyDescriptorCollection(null);
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> property in properties)
{
props.Add(new DynamicPropertyDescriptor(property.Key));
}
return props;
}

public object GetPropertyOwner(PropertyDescriptor pd)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}

#endregion ICustomTypeDescriptor
}

public class DynamicPropertyDescriptor : PropertyDescriptor
{
public DynamicPropertyDescriptor(string name)
: base(name, null)
{
}

public override bool CanResetValue(object component)
{
return false;
}

public override object GetValue(object component)
{
return Impromptu.InvokeGet(component, Name);
}

public override void ResetValue(object component)
{

}

public override void SetValue(object component, object value)
{
Impromptu.InvokeSet(component, Name, value);
}

public override bool ShouldSerializeValue(object component)
{
return false;
}

public override Type ComponentType
{
get { return typeof(object); }
}

public override bool IsReadOnly
{
get { return false; }
}

public override Type PropertyType
{
get
{
return typeof(object);
}
}
}

Please help. Thank you.
