GridDataControl Drag&Drop failure?

[sgonline]

Hi there,

I have a question about the GridDataControl binding. In the official sample, I saw the code as follows:





...
...
ShowGroupDropArea="True"
AutoPopulateRelations="False"
ShowAddNewRow="False"
ItemsSource="{StaticResource dataSource}">

In this way, it's like the binding to a class and the drag & drop works perfectly.

However, as I changed the binding from the resource to a class to directly binding to an object instance in the code behind, as follows:
ShowGroupDropArea="True"
AutoPopulateRelations="False"
ShowAddNewRow="False"
ItemsSource="{Binding myInstance}">

The drag & drop functionality disappeared. I checked the output from the debugger, and found the following error suspicious:
System.Windows.Data Error: 2 : Cannot find governing FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement for target element. BindingExpression:Path=Background; DataItem=null; target element is 'GeometryDrawing' (HashCode=21905215); target property is 'Brush' (type 'Brush').

I want to know that is it possible that I could bind to an instance but not a class since I want to populate data into that instance from some external methods, while at the same time have the drag & drop functionality still available.

Thank you very much.
