Hi all

My class structure is like:

C#

public class ClassName
{
    public string ColumnName{get;set;}
    public List<string> ColumnValues{get;set;} 
}

list<classname> lstClass=new List<classname>();
// Iterating for values into lstClass
// Now i have values into lstClass</classname></classname></string>

I want to bind a datagrid so that the ColumnName property of class is as Column name of datagrid and below each column ColumnValues property of class.
If there are two lists items in lstClass then structure will be:

ColumnName 1  | ColumnName 2
value1        | value1
value2        | value2

Kindly help in that regard.

Thanks
Piyush

The ColumnName property of my class should bind to header of datagrid with their respective values(here values are from property ColumnValues of Class)

You can make the Itemspaneltemplate of the ItemsControl you bind to horizontal.
This should give the desired effect you require.

Something like

XML

<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal' />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>

You cannot achieve this directly. Binding a collection normally act as rows and not as columns.

You should maintain the columns in a separate collection bind to the Columns property of the DataGrid.

Mark it as answer if it is helpful.
