copied!<p>I made some helper classes so I could use the DataGrid as a kind of DataTable. In other words, I wanted the formatting, sorting, and polished look of the DataGrid without having to pre-fab some classes beforehand. The main reason I wanted this was for a testing suite, I wanted to be able to create an arbitrary number of columns and at runtime. Here's what I got</p> <pre><code>public class DataRow { internal List<object> Items = new List<object>(); public object this[string value] { get { return Items[Convert.ToInt32(value)]; } } public string GetString(int index) { return Items[index].ToString(); } public object GetObject(int index) { return Items[index]; } public DataRow(params object[] values) { if (values == null || values.Length < 1) throw new Exception("You must pass in some values"); Items.AddRange(values); } } public class GridConstructor { public List<DataRow> Rows = new List<DataRow>(); private DataRow headers; public GridConstructor(DataRow head) { headers = head; } public void BuildInto(DataGrid grid) { grid.AutoGenerateColumns = false; grid.Columns.Clear(); int totalCols = 0; Type headType = headers.GetType(); for (int i = 0; i < headers.Items.Count; i++) { grid.Columns.Add(GetCol(headers.GetString(i), String.Concat("[", i.ToString(),"]"))); totalCols++; } int finalWidth = totalCols * (int)grid.ColumnWidth.Value + 15; grid.Width = finalWidth; grid.ItemsSource = Rows; } private DataGridTextColumn GetCol(string header, string binding) { DataGridTextColumn col = new DataGridTextColumn(); col.IsReadOnly = true; col.Header = header; col.Binding = new Binding(binding); return col; } public DataGrid Create(int colSize) { DataGrid grid = new DataGrid(); grid.ColumnWidth = colSize; grid.CanUserAddRows = false; grid.AlternationCount = 2; BuildInto(grid); return grid; } } </code></pre> <p>Putting this together, this is a sample use:</p> <pre><code>void SimpleTest_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { DataRow headers = new DataRow("Level", "Weapon Type", "vs None", "vs Leather", "vs Studded", "vs Brigandine"); GridConstructor gridConstructor = new GridConstructor(headers); var weaponType = "Slash"; for (int level = 1; level < 10; level++) { int damage = DiceCup.RollMulti(8, level); int damCloth = damage - DiceCup.RollMulti(2, level); int damLeather = damage - DiceCup.RollMulti(3, level); int damStudded = damage - DiceCup.RollMulti(4, level); int damBrigandine = damage - DiceCup.RollMulti(5, level); DataRow row = new DataRow(level, weaponType, damage, damCloth, damLeather, damStudded, damBrigandine); gridConstructor.Rows.Add(row); } //Create the grid. var grid = gridConstructor.Create(100); //Create a chart. Chart chart = new Chart(); chart.Height = 200; chart.LegendTitle = "Legend"; chart.Title = "Slash vs Armor Types"; chart.DataContext = gridConstructor.Rows; //Create our series, or lines. LineSeries slashVsNone = new LineSeries(); slashVsNone.Title = "vs None"; slashVsNone.DependentValueBinding = new Binding("[2]"); slashVsNone.IndependentValueBinding = new Binding("[0]"); slashVsNone.ItemsSource = gridConstructor.Rows; chart.Series.Add(slashVsNone); //Presentation is a stackpanel on the page. presentation.Children.Add(grid); presentation.Children.Add(chart); } </code></pre> <p>And the output:</p> <p><a href="http://quiteabnormal.com/images/codeSample.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Output">alt text http://quiteabnormal.com/images/codeSample.jpg</a></p> <p>Please note that the grid coloring is from universal styles set on the page. If you use the GridConstructor.BuildInto() method you can specify a grid you've pre-formatted yourself in Blend or somesuch.</p> <p>Just one thing, the GridConstructor makes some assumptions about the column's initial settings. You can change the class to make it more customizable if you like, but this is what I needed so I wanted to be able to make it without fuss.</p>
