How to bind a property to a ModelView DataContext when setting Header for printing ?

[Silvio]

HI,

I'm following your examples to customize Header for SfDatagrid printing.

In the XAML I have this code:

<Application.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="PageHeaderTempalte">
        <Grid Background="Gray">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding ReportTitle}" 
                       FontSize="18" 
                       FontWeight="Bold" 
                       Foreground="White" 
                       HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</Application.Resources>

where "ReportTitle" is a string property that supplies the report title to be set for the report that's available on my ViewModel object.

But, how can I set the DataContext for the PrintPreview window in order to have this binding work ?

Best regards.

Hi Silvio, 

 

PrintManagerBase is the DataContext for PrintPageControl, where the header and footer templates are loaded. Where you can override print manager and pass DataContext to Header and Footer templates. You can find the sample and code snippet details below,
