Here's a workaround for Binding Columns in the DataGrid. Since the Columns property is ReadOnly, like everyone noticed, I made an Attached Property called BindableColumns which updates the Columns in the DataGrid everytime the collection changes through the CollectionChanged event.
If we have this Collection of DataGridColumn's
public ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn> ColumnCollection
{
get;
private set;
}
Then we can bind BindableColumns to the ColumnCollection like this
<DataGrid Name="dataGrid"
local:DataGridColumnsBehavior.BindableColumns="{Binding ColumnCollection}"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
...>
The Attached Property BindableColumns
public class DataGridColumnsBehavior
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty BindableColumnsProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("BindableColumns",
typeof(ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn>),
typeof(DataGridColumnsBehavior),
new UIPropertyMetadata(null, BindableColumnsPropertyChanged));
private static void BindableColumnsPropertyChanged(DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
DataGrid dataGrid = source as DataGrid;
ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn> columns = e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn>;
dataGrid.Columns.Clear();
if (columns == null)
{
return;
}
foreach (DataGridColumn column in columns)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
}
columns.CollectionChanged += (sender, e2) =>
{
NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs ne = e2 as NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs;
if (ne.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Clear();
foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.NewItems)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
}
}
else if (ne.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
{
foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.NewItems)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
}
}
else if (ne.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Move)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Move(ne.OldStartingIndex, ne.NewStartingIndex);
}
else if (ne.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove)
{
foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.OldItems)
{
dataGrid.Columns.Remove(column);
}
}
else if (ne.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace)
{
dataGrid.Columns[ne.NewStartingIndex] = ne.NewItems[0] as DataGridColumn;
}
};
}
public static void SetBindableColumns(DependencyObject element, ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn> value)
{
element.SetValue(BindableColumnsProperty, value);
}
public static ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn> GetBindableColumns(DependencyObject element)
{
return (ObservableCollection<DataGridColumn>)element.GetValue(BindableColumnsProperty);
}
}
