Add empty row un SfDataGrid for data entry

[Carlos]

Hi there!

How could I do so SfDataGrid can have an empty row for data entry? I want one of the columns to be a combobox and the others just simple textboxes.

As far as I know, SfDataGrid in WPF needs to have a data binding unlike to WINFORMS that you can add columns without binding data to something.

In WINFORMS, I'm able to add columns and set the Allow AddRows property to start entering data using textbox and combobox column. How can I do the same practice

with SfDataGrid?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Carlos,   

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.   

  

SfDataGrid has built-in support to add new rows to the underlying collection. You can allow the addition of new rows in datagrid by specifying AddNewRowPosition. Please refer the below UG link.

Thanks Shobika for your reply.

As I saw the link you provided, looks like it is mandatory to bind a collection to the SfDataGrid to add rows.

Is there a way to add rows without binding the control to a collection like I used to do it in WINFORMS?

Hi Carlos,   

  

By default, SfDatagrid is a data bounded grid and without binding collection, you cannot add rows directly to the grid. It is because we processed the creation of view based solely on the bounded collection. However, you can set empty collection as the itemssource for datagrid and then add item to the grid to fulfill your requirement. For adding new rows.  

  

Please refer the below KB.
