I am new to WPF. I need a binding navigator to navigate through records in my datagrid. How to do it. I couldn't find a proper tutorial anywhere

What I have tried:

HTML

<pre>StackPanel x:Name="bindingNav"  Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2,2,221.667,0" Height="29" VerticalAlignment="Top">
                <Button Name="btnFirst" Content="|◄" Width="30" />
                <Button Name="btnPrev" Content="◄" Width="30" />
                <TextBox x:Name="txtdisplay" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="36" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="71" />
                <TextBox x:Name="txtcount" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="36" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="47"/>
                <Button Name="btnNext" Content="►" Width="30"/>
                <Button Name="btnLast" Content="►| " Width="30"/>
                <Button Name="btnAddnew" Content="+" Width="30"/>
                <Button Name="btnrecordDelete" Content="X" Width="30"  />
                </StackPanel>

I tried creating with buttons in a stackpanel. But I couldn't know how to bind to datagrid.

Solution 1

"Navigating" in a datagrid (via buttons) consists of changing the "selected index".

A "navigator" is typically associated with a "form", because it has no "built-in" navigation, while a datagrid DOES.

Which begs the question of why have buttons when one can already click and / or scroll to navigate (more efficiently)?

And have you thought of "sorted" columns and how a "navigator" would deal with that?

I am in the process of converting a project from vb to WPF C#.Net. They wanted the navigation button in the Windows. I was managed to find a solution using datagrid.SelectedIndex.
