Dynamic DataGrid in Silverlight

This blog demonstrate how we can create the Dynamic DataGrid in Silverlight.

We can create Dynamic DataGrid and add this DataGrid in Grid control which is on MainPage.xaml.
 
 Step 1 : Create Dynamic DataGrid as bleow and add DataGrid in Grid control.
    
 Define variables on page.
 
         Grid panelGrid;
         DataGrid dataGridFirst;
         DataPager pager;
  
         public void getPendingClientGrid()
         {
             panelGrid = new Grid();
  
             panelGrid.Name = "PendingClientGrid";
             RowDefinition rowDef1 = new RowDefinition();
             RowDefinition rowDef2 = new RowDefinition();
             panelGrid.RowDefinitions.Add(rowDef1);
             panelGrid.RowDefinitions.Add(rowDef2);
             panelGrid.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
             panelGrid.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
             dataGridFirst = new DataGrid();
             dataGridFirst.Name = "PendingClientDataGrid";
             dataGridFirst.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
             dataGridFirst.HeadersVisibility = DataGridHeadersVisibility.Column;
             dataGridFirst.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
             dataGridFirst.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
             dataGridFirst.IsReadOnly = true;
  
             dataGridFirst.AutoGeneratingColumn += new  EventHandler<DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs>(dataGridFirst_AutoGeneratingColumn);
             dataGridFirst.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(dataGridFirst_LayoutUpdated);
             dataGridFirst.LoadingRow += new EventHandler<DataGridRowEventArgs>(dataGridFirst_LoadingRow);
             dataGridFirst.PreparingCellForEdit += new EventHandler<DataGridPreparingCellForEditEventArgs>(dataGridFirst_PreparingCellForEdit);
             dataGridFirst.HeadersVisibility = DataGridHeadersVisibility.All;
             Grid.SetRow(dataGridFirst, 0);
  
             pager = new DataPager();
             Grid.SetRow(pager, 1);
  
             panelGrid.Children.Add(dataGridFirst);
             panelGrid.Children.Add(pager);
  
             this.PendingClientsGrid.Children.Add(panelGrid); 
             dataGridFirst.Style = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["newDataGridStyle"];
             dataGridFirst.ColumnHeaderStyle = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["DataGridHeaderGlassEffect"];
         }
 
 Step 2 : We can also define the datagrid styles in code behind as below.
 
         dataGridFirst.Style = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["newDataGridStyle"];
         dataGridFirst.ColumnHeaderStyle = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["DataGridHeaderGlassEffect"];
 
 Step 3 : Add created datagrid in PendingClientsGrid as below.
 
     <Grid x:Name="PendingClientsGrid" Grid.Row="2"   Margin="0,5,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" /> 
             panelGrid.Children.Add(dataGridFirst);
             panelGrid.Children.Add(pager); 
             this.PendingClientsGrid.Children.Add(panelGrid);
 
 Step 4 : Call getPendingClientGrid() in page as below.Make 1 method named getPendingClientdata() in this method we binding data for datagrid.
 
     public void getPendingClientdata()
         {                      
             dataGridFirst.ItemsSource = e.result;
         }
     public PendingClientWindow()
         {
             InitializeComponent();
             getPendingClientGrid();
             getPendingClientdata();
         }
 
 Step 5 : OutPut look like as below.

 
 
Summary : We can create dynamic datagrid and also applying style for datagrid dynamically.
