Hi Anthony,

You can achieve your requirement by adding column in XAML and code behind to columns property.
http://help.syncfusion.com/silverlight/sfdatagrid/columns

C#

this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() {  MappingName = "Name" });

this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() {  MappingName = "Year" });

this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Sales in Quarter1", MappingName = "QS1" });

this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Sales in Quarter2", MappingName = "QS2" });

this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridNumericColumn() { HeaderText = "Sales in Quarter3", MappingName = "QS3" });
this.dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridNumericColumn() { HeaderText = "Sales in Quarter4", MappingName = "QS4" });

Hello,

Is it possible to have the same thing for GridDataControl ?

I need to bind a obverservable collection from a class with an array of values.

Thanks again.

Hi Anthony, 

 

We have analyzed your query and you can achieve your requirement in GridDataControl using VisibleColumns collection. 

 

Please refer the below code example. 

 

C# 

  this.grid.VisibleColumns.Add(new GridDataVisibleColumn() { MappingName = "Name", HeaderText = "name" }); 

 

 

We have recommended you to use only SfDataGrid in your application and currently we have implemented many features in SfDataGrid. SfDataGrid has been designed based on the template-based architecture which provides support to customize the datagrid easily. Comparatively, the performance of SfDataGrid control is better than the GridDataControl.
