QuestionDynamic WPF DataGrid Pin
Kevin Marois19-Mar-21 10:41

I need to automatically generate a WPF DataGrid at runtime. Some of the columns will be known, and some will be added based off user selections. In all cases, I'll know the data types. The column definitions will all be rows in some table, allowing me to create any number of columns.

The problem that I'm going to run into is binding. Since there will be an unknown number of columns, I can't create an "concrete" entity to bind to. So, the real question here is how to represent the data when I don't know all the columns.

I came across some examples of ExpandoObject usage and put together this sample:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Assigning properties and their values at runtime
    var x = new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary;
    x.Add("NewProp", "Hello World!");

    IDictionary propertyValues = x;
    foreach (var property in propertyValues.Keys)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} : {1}", property, propertyValues[property]));
    }

    // Creating properties in code and assigning data at runtime
    dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject();
    expando.SomeStringProp = "C";
    expando.SomeNumberProp = 12;

    expando.MyMethod = new Func(() =>
    {
        return 55;
    });

    Console.WriteLine(expando.SomeStringProp);
    Console.WriteLine(expando.SomeNumberProp);
    Console.WriteLine(expando.MyMethod());
    Console.ReadLine();
}
I'm concerned about performance here. If anyone has a better way I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
