DataTemplate Column in GridDataControl

[David Brenchley]

I have followed your example for setting a datatemplate in a column of the grid.

void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e) {
if (e.Cell.RowIndex > 0 && e.Cell.ColumnIndex == 5) {
e.Style.CellType = "DataTemplate";
//e.Style.CellTemplateKey = "editableEmployee";
//e.Style.CellValue = employeesSource.Employees[e.Cell.RowIndex % employeesSource.Employees.Count];
//e.Style.Background = Brushes.Linen;

}
}

This works fine, except when the user changes the position of the columns. How do we resolve that issue?

I think a more elegant solution (for future grids) might be something like this.

The solution I have come up with is the following.

void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e) {
if (e.Cell.ColumnIndex > 0 && e.Cell.RowIndex > 0
&& TicketGrid.VisibleColumns[e.Cell.ColumnIndex - 1].MappingName == "AssignedUsers"
) {
e.Style.CellType = "DataTemplate";
}
}

Ah, I like it. Nice and clean.

Thank you very much.

This code does not work. It just shows is:

CellType = "DataTemplate" CellValue=








If it helps, here is my datatemplate















Text="{Binding UserName}"/>
