    <p>Run this, and be confused:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="Data_Grids.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt; &lt;DataGrid Name="r1" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=.}"&gt; &lt;/DataGrid&gt; &lt;DataGrid Name="r2" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=.}"&gt; &lt;/DataGrid&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre> <p>Codebehind:</p> <pre><code>using System.Data; using System.Windows; namespace Data_Grids { public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); DataTable dt1, dt2; dt1 = new DataTable(); dt2 = new DataTable(); dt1.Columns.Add("a-name", typeof(string)); dt1.Columns.Add("b-name", typeof(string)); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 3, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 4, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 5, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 6, "Hi" }); dt1.Rows.Add(new object[] { 7, "Hi" }); dt2.Columns.Add("a.name", typeof(string)); dt2.Columns.Add("b.name", typeof(string)); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 3, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 4, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 5, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 6, "Hi" }); dt2.Rows.Add(new object[] { 7, "Hi" }); r1.DataContext = dt1; r2.DataContext = dt2; } } } </code></pre> <p>I'll tell you what happens. The top datagrid is populated with column headers and data. The bottom datagrid has <em>column headers</em> but all the rows are blank.</p>
