Serialization of GridTemplateColumn

[Kurt Zimmermann]

Hi,

I have added a GridTemplateColumn to my DataGrid. Inside the CellTemplate are two Buttons. After serialization and deserialization the Buttons are gone.

I have changed your Serialization sample to demonstrate the Problem - I have added this column:

<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Test" MappingName="SupplierID">

<syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Button Content="{Binding SupplierID}" />

</DataTemplate>

</syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

</syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn>

After clicking Serialize and then Deserialize the Buttons are gone.

Is there a way to use der GridTemplateColumn with serialization?

Thanks

Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We regret to inform you that in SfDataGrid it is not possible to Serialize GridTemplateColumn. However you can achieve your requirement by manually adding the CellTemplate to the GridTemplateColumn while performing the Deserialization like the below code example. We have prepared a work around sample as per your requirement and you can  download the same from the below location,

C#

private static void OnExecuteDeserialize(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs args)

        {

            var dataGrid = args.Source as SfDataGrid;

            if (dataGrid == null) return;

            var options = args.Parameter as DeserializationOptions;

            try

            {

                using (var file = File.Open("DataGrid.xml", FileMode.Open))

                {

                    dataGrid.Deserialize(file, options);

                    var col = dataGrid.Columns.FirstOrDefault(column => column.MappingName == "SupplierID");

                    col.CellTemplate = App.Current.Resources["TemplateColumn"] as DataTemplate;

                  

                }

            }

            catch (Exception)

            {

            }

        }
