带有 AutoGeneratedColumns 的 WPF 代码隐藏数据绑定不起作用

Question

I am trying to achieve rather something simple, and I believe that my approach might be wrong. I am creating a datagrid, where the first column has a seperate width from the other ones. I am using AutoGenerateColumns=true, as it simplifies my work. I cannot use pure XAML as I do not know the amount of columns before runtime, and I was not able to connect XAML and AutoGenerateColumns, so it would use the first column's layout, and then generate the rest.

My approaches:

1) Create two data grids next to each other - the issue with that approach is the need to manage 2 seperate datagrids, I saw issues with scrolling and adjusting their sizes, so I decided to change my approach, to keep everyhting within one DataGrid as the data relates to each other.

2) Trying to get the Datagrid object from Code-Behind so I can set the Width property from the ViewModel class, this would break the MVVM model, and also was difficult for my to implement

3) Current approach - using the AutoGeneratingColumn event, I capture the first column and try to bind to its WidthProperties. Unfortunately this does not seem to work, and I do not know why.

This is my Code-Behind file for the XAML containing the DataGrid

 private void DG1_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
        {
            string headername = e.Column.Header.ToString();
            //Cancel the column you don't want to generate
            if (headername == "DATE")
            {
                Binding binding = new Binding("DateColumnWidth");
                binding.Source = DataGrid.DataContext; // DataGrid is the name of the DataGrid
                binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;

                binding.Path = new PropertyPath("DateColumnWidth");
                BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, ColumnDefinition.MinWidthProperty, binding);
                BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, ColumnDefinition.MaxWidthProperty, binding);
                e.Column.Header = "Test";
            }
        }

This is my Proprty in the ViewModel. Whilst debugging the binding source, it attaches to the right class and I see all my properties. It also changes the header of the right column.

 private int _DateColumnWidth;

        public int DateColumnWidth
        {
            get { return _DateColumnWidth; }
            set
            {
                _DateColumnWidth = value;
                RaisePropertyChanged("DateColumnWidth");
            }
        }

I set the debugger to show me all the data binding tracing information, no problems arise, but the width is not updating. What am I doing wrong?

I created a mock up based on your code and it worked. Then I looked more closely and realised you have this:

BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, ColumnDefinition.MinWidthProperty, binding);

ColumnDefinition is the wrong object. It should be DataGridColumn :

BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, DataGridColumn.MaxWidthProperty, binding);

Here is my test. The grid's first column is bound to a ColumnWidth property on ViewModel . There is a Slider control below the grid with the same binding. Sliding the slider changes the first column's width.

MainWindow.xaml:

<Window x:Class="SO_59604847_DataGridBoundColumnWidth.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SO_59604847_DataGridBoundColumnWidth"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.DataContext>
        <local:ViewModel />
    </Window.DataContext>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <DataGrid
            AutoGenerateColumns="True"
            ItemsSource="{Binding GridItems}"
            AutoGeneratingColumn="DataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn">
        </DataGrid>
        <Slider Grid.Row="1" Minimum="1" Maximum="1000" Value="{Binding ColumnWidth}" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void DataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column.Header.ToString() == "ColumnOne")
        {
            var binding = new Binding("ColumnWidth");
            binding.Source = this.DataContext;
            BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, DataGridColumn.MinWidthProperty, binding);
            BindingOperations.SetBinding(e.Column, DataGridColumn.MaxWidthProperty, binding);
        }
    }
}

ViewModel.cs:

public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private double _columnWidth;
    public double ColumnWidth 
    {
        get { return _columnWidth; }
        set { _columnWidth = value; FirePropertyChanged(); }
    }

    private List<GridItem> _gridItems = new List<GridItem>()
        {
            new GridItem() { ColumnOne = "1.1", ColumnTwo = "1.2", ColumnThree = "1.3" },
            new GridItem() { ColumnOne = "2.1", ColumnTwo = "2.2", ColumnThree = "2.3" },
            new GridItem() { ColumnOne = "3.1", ColumnTwo = "3.2", ColumnThree = "3.3" }
        };

    public List<GridItem> GridItems 
    { 
        get { return _gridItems; }
    }

    private void FirePropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string caller = "")
    {
        PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(caller));
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

public class GridItem
{
    public string ColumnOne { get; set; }
    public string ColumnTwo { get; set; }
    public string ColumnThree { get; set; }
}

It does not do two-way binding because that doesn't make sense if you're binding to the Min and Max column widths (the user can't change these - and indeed cannot change the width because the Min and Max widths are set to the same value). If your intention was to bind the width two-ways then you will need to bind to the WidthProperty dependency property and not the Min/MaxWidthProperty DPs (though, you may need a value converter then because Width is a GridLength not a plain number. Say so if that is what you were trying to do and I'll see if I can update the answer accordingly.
