Hi Scott,

I have problem with resizing the DataGrid.

In my program, I have a custom paging for my DataGrid. When the DataGrid (with e.g. 10 rows) is loading the first time, it has all the rows showing in the datagrid; but the problem is when it goes to the second page with taller cells, then the height of the DataGrid stays as the same size of the first page!

I don't know how to fix it. I gave a fixed hieght to the DataGrid in the xaml, but it didn't work....

Hi Scott,

You show picture where are rows with different height at post http://blogs.msdn.com/scmorris/archive/2008/10/14/silverlight-2-datagrid-is-released.aspx. How can I make it?

This is good stuff! I would like to see an option of "Stretch" for a column, however. As Ananya asks above, I believe it's the same thing.. Perhaps two options:

- Allow "Stretch" for a column to fill remaining space

- Show the grid BG color where there are no visible columns

I also notice that when using row headers, the grid lines get "pushed" off the right side. Interesting.

As mentioned earlier... how can we get rid of the column to the right? I'd like to "auto-size" the columns to fill the entire width of the datagrid.

I have this major WISH-LIST:

Why can't we all have an auto-size feature in windows to optimize the grids of data to size to header content as well as the data content of the underlying data under the headers? When-ever I am looking at data windows and want to view URLs and the data paths, I come across trying to resize all the contents to better view the data. if there is no data in the column, often double clicking the header limit double arrow results in the header name being cut-off as in [header values] becoming [he...] while the resizing does not take into consideration that the header of the data needs to be visible even when the data is much shorter than the header.

Can this issue be addressed in Windows 7 as well as other areas of programming of data grids?

Thanks much;

Sincerely;

Michael L. Burdett
