Hi All,
I have used one XMLfile as data source for my datagrid in a WPF.

XML:-

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Profiles>
  <Profile Name="PGB570/120/600/120" Weight="19200" Bolt="42"/>
  <Profile Name="PGB570/100/600/100" Weight="16400" Bolt="42"/>
  <Profile Name="PGB570/70/600/70" Weight="13300" Bolt="36"/>
  <Profile Name="PGB570/60/600/60" Weight="10300" Bolt="36"/>
  <Profile Name="UC" Weight="8900" Bolt="30"/>
</Profiles>

And in my designer...
XAML:

XML

<Window x:Class="TEST_APP.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit"
        
        Title="TEST_APP" Height="280" Width="574""
        ResizeMode="CanMinimize">
    <Window.Resources>
        <XmlDataProvider x:Key="ProfileData" Source="Resources/ProfileList.xml" XPath="/Profiles/Profile"/>
    </Window.Resources>
    
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition Height="30"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <TabControl HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
            <TabItem Header="Diagrid Diagonals">
                <Grid>
                    <DataGrid x:Name="profileData" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="147" Margin="0,0,0,20" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="283" DataContext="{StaticResource ProfileData}" ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/Profiles/Profile}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                        <DataGrid.Columns>
                            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Profile" Binding="{Binding XPath= @Name}"/>
                            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Max. Weight" Binding="{Binding XPath=@Weight}"/>
                            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Bolt Dia" Binding="{Binding XPath=@Bolt}"/>
                        </DataGrid.Columns>
                    </DataGrid>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="303"/>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="153"/>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="91"/>
                        <ColumnDefinition/>
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                </Grid>
            </TabItem>
        </TabControl>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Everything works good in designer, and I can see the datagrid is populated with data. But on runtime its not loading, just an empty datagrid.
Please have a look and help me.

What I have tried:

The code worked very well on runtime also, but something happened now its not showing anything. That's why I am wondering!!.
I have tried modifying the XAML in different ways but no hope.Please consider as I am a begginer in WPF and XAML.

No real solution, sorry..
But:
I tried your code (copied to a new project) and it worked as expected. So I would say there is nothing wrong with your xaml or XML. But I think it's best to set the XML.file to build-action None and copy to output directory or do you really need it as resource? So I would verify the file properties are correct and what you want. Other from wrong file Setting I have no idea would could have gone wrong with that... maybe start over again (I just needed 1 Minute to copy your code and data-file to a new solution), to rule out some project settings you may have changed unintentionally...
