Assign Grid columns to DataGrid using DataTemplate

[karthi Chandra]

Hello Team,

                    I would like to pass the grid column definitions  in sfDataGrid using DataTemplate. Because we are using the user control to keep the common structured datagrid along with few more features. Please provide samples .

Hi Karthi Chandra 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

We are little unclear with your requirement. However we suspect that your requirement is to define DataTemplate for the columns in the SfDataGrid(like GridTextColumn, GridNumericColumn). So that once you defined the column with some properties, you can use the same template to create several columns with same values for those properties. If this is your requirement, it is not possible to define DataTemplate for the columns, as they are not an UI element. You can achieve this requirement by creating custom column types derived from existing column types as use the custom type for creating the column as shown below.  

Code example :  

public class GridTextColumnExt : GridTextColumn 

{ 

    public GridTextColumnExt() 

    { 

        this.AllowFiltering = false; 

        this.GroupMode = Syncfusion.Data.DataReflectionMode.Display; 

    } 

} 

 

public class GridNumericColumnExt : GridNumericColumn 

{ 

    public GridNumericColumnExt() 

    { 

        AllowEditing = false; 

        this.NumberDecimalDigits = 2; 

        this.NumberDecimalSeparator = "'"; 

        this.GroupMode = Syncfusion.Data.DataReflectionMode.Display; 

    } 

} 

 

 

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns> 

    <local:GridTextColumnExt MappingName="FirstName" /> 

    <local:GridTextColumnExt  MappingName="LastName" /> 

    <local:GridNumericColumnExt MappingName="ID"/> 

    <local:GridTextColumnExt  MappingName="Title" /> 

    <local:GridNumericColumnExt  MappingName="Salary" /> 

</syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
