shyun,

What I meant was the code for the DataTable is in the sample on this post. Also, the sample is not the VSM on. It is the sample on this post, http://blogs.msdn.com/vinsibal/archive/2008/10/22/wpf-datagrid-and-the-wpftoolkit-have-released.aspx.

What are the requirements to map a class as a datasource for design time binding. I have an ORM mapper and when I specify it's class as an ObjectDataProvider I get an "Oject reference not set to an instance of an object"

I saw your code inherited ObservableCollection and the GetEmployees method returns a DataView. Are these requirements for design time binding?

Nigel Stratton,

Inheriting from ObservableCollection and the DataView thing isn't a requirement.

Generally, the main issue is that you cannot bind to properties that are declared on the thing you are designing. So if you were to set a DataContext in code behind, it would not work. This is because the way the designer works is it creates an instance of the base class (Window) and then applies the contents of Window1.xaml to it.

It seems that you are doing something similar to my example yet you are still seeing the issue. I'd have to see a code snippet to diagnose further.

osten,

Could you provide more details with your issue? What Visual Studio do you have installed? How does your project point to the toolkit? Do you see the toolbox icons for DataGrid, Calendar, etc?

How do you remove the header row from a this WPF DataGrid? I don't want the header to show at all for the entire DataGrid.

Thanks

How can you disable or turn off the header on a WPF datagrid?

Thanks

Dom,

You can disable them by setting HeadersVisibility to None.

What is the most eloquent method to swap design-time and run-time data with the ObjectDataSource.

ie. Using Linq, I have a method Customers.GetCustomers(datacontext db).

The plan is that my ODS will call the method, passing null in as datacontext, and the EF will use my conection from Settings. At Runtime, my app will pass the datacontext around, and must pass in a NON null value for db.

How do I get the best of both worlds?

When I right click on the datagrid, "datagrid" is not an option on the context menu? Am I doing something wrong?

Mark,

It looks like the VS design time cannot find the datagrid specific dlls. How are you referencing the toolkit? And does the location where you're referencing the toolkit contain the two Microsoft.*.design.dlls?

.NET 3.5 SP1 and WPF DataGrid CTP are out now!
