Hi friends, I am using a WPF Flowdocument for viewing data.
I want to bind Flowdocument Dynamically with the database through DataTable to show the data in a formatted manner.
But unfortunately it is not showing me the data.
Following is my Flowdocument
XML
<FlowDocument xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
           
              ColumnWidth="400" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Georgia">
    <Table DataContext="{Binding}">
        
        <TableRowGroup Paragraph.TextAlignment="left">
            <TableRow FontWeight="Bold" >
                <TableCell>
                    <Paragraph>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
                       
                    </Paragraph>
                </TableCell>
                <TableCell>
                    <Paragraph>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Age}" />
                       
                    </Paragraph>
                </TableCell>
            </TableRow>
           
        </TableRowGroup>
    </Table>

   
</FlowDocument>


I am binding this Flowdocument wiith an DataTable
C#
private DataTable DataTableC()
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable("TestData");
            dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string)));
            dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Age", typeof(int)));

            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr[0] = "Demo1";
            dr[1] = 16;
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
            dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr[0] = "Demo2";
            dr[1] = 18;
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
            dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr[0] = "Demo3";
            dr[1] = 22;
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);

            return dt;
        }


And Giving the Data context to the Flow document as follows
C#
FlowDocument document = null;
           document = Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("FlowDocument1.xaml",UriKind.Relative)) as FlowDocument;
           this.WriteXPS(document);
           document.DataContext = DataTableC();


Unfortuantely it is not getting binded.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Using COdeRespon.Reports.dll we can make a dynamic FlowDocumentReport

Good alternative. 5!

Edit: Link earlier pointing to this page is corrected.
C#
document.DataContext = DataTableC().DefaultView;


[Edit]

The reason is that the FlowDocument control does not support DataBinding as explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd569761.aspx[^]
"While there are many great features in flow documents, if your documents are generated from dynamic data, you have a bit of a problem: there is no support for data binding in flow documents."
A work around is given at the above reference. I think it may be helpful.
