Create reusable Listvew/Datagrid can bind2 diff property of VM in WPF

you want a reusable ListView/DataGrid in WPF that can bind to different collection properties across different ViewModels. The key is to decouple the control from the specific ViewModel by using dependency properties or DataTemplates.

Here’s a complete approach:

Solution 1: Use a UserControl with Dependency Property

1. Create a Reusable UserControl

2. Add Dependency Property in Code-Behind

public partial class ReusableGrid : UserControl
{
    public ReusableGrid()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public IEnumerable DataSource
    {
        get { return (IEnumerable)GetValue(DataSourceProperty); }
        set { SetValue(DataSourceProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty DataSourceProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("DataSource", typeof(IEnumerable), typeof(ReusableGrid), new PropertyMetadata(null));
}

3. Use in Different Views

Here, Students and Employees are two different collection properties in two different ViewModels, but the same reusable control works.

Solution 2: Use DataTemplates with ContentControl

If you want different column definitions depending on the ViewModel:

The ContentControl automatically picks the right template based on the ViewModel type.

Note

• Dependency Property approach ? Best for a single reusable grid with dynamic binding.

• DataTemplate approach ? Best when you need different column definitions per ViewModel.

• Both approaches keep your UI reusable and clean.
