Siverlight: DataGridView adding items and getting selected items

Question

I use the DataTable for adding items to a DataGridView and the DataGridRow for getting the select items out of it in WPF but the silverlight appears not to have those types. I would like to know what the appropriate way is to add data and get them back to and from the DataGridView in silverlight since those things are not available in this framework.

Answer 1

You don't need to bind your data with the data grid view like that at all. (By using DataTable ). Instead you you can make a list of your models and directly bind it to the item source of the grid view. For example:

// Example Model
public class MyModel{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public String Title {get; set;
}

List<MyModel> MyList = new List<MyModel>(){ new MyModel{ Id = 1, Title = "Jack"}};
MyDataGridView.ItemSource = MyList;

And to get the selected row you can:

var Row = (MyModel) MyDataGridView.SelectedItem;
