You basically leverage the Converter property to bind to an indexed value on the row of data.</p> <p>I just tried this approach, and it seems to work great. Here's some code:</p> <pre><code>/// <summary> /// Allows us to bind columns to dictionary entries. /// </summary> public class DictionaryConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { var dict = (IDictionary) value; return dict[parameter]; } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } </code></pre> <p>Usage:</p> <pre><code>List<IDictionary<string, object>> dicts = GetDictionaryData(); foreach (var series in _trendChart.Series) { _dataGrid.Columns.Add( new DataGridTextColumn{ Header = series.Name, Binding = new Binding{ Converter = new DictionaryConverter(), ConverterParameter = series.Name } }); } _dataGrid.ItemsSource = dicts; </code></pre> <h3>Update</h3> <p><a href="http://www.scottlogic.co.uk/blog/colin/2010/03/binding-a-silverlight-3-datagrid-to-dynamic-data-via-idictionary-updated/" rel="nofollow">This article</a> includes a much more complete set of code that makes it possible to add sorting and other advanced features.</p>
