SelectedItems of an SfDataGrid

[Zeljko Lazic]

I have a View which contains an SfDataGrid which is set to allow mulitple row selections.

How do I bind the SelectedItems property of an SfDataGrid to my ViewModel? It doesn't appear in the list when I'm editing the XAML, only SelectedItem appears.

Hi Zeljko, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have analyzed your query. In SfDataGrid.SelectedItems is a collection property, so whenever the SelectedItems collection is changed, the property bound with SelectedItems does not get notified for this change. However, you can achieve this by creating an attached property for SelectedItems. And SfDataGrid’s SelectedItems values are set to the attached property by handling SelectedItems.Collectionchanged event. For your reference, we have attached the KB link. Could you please refer to it.

Please let us know if you have any query.

I'm using SfDataGrid version 20.1.0.51 and I can achieve this by simply binding a 'public ObservableCollection<object> SelectedItems' property to the SfDataGrid in XAML.

In ViewModel:
private ObservableCollection<object> _selecionados;
public ObservableCollection<object> Selecionados
{
get { return _selecionados; }
set { SetProperty(ref _selecionados, value); }
}
In XAML:

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid

...

 SelectedItems="{Binding Selecionados}" />

Hope it helps!
