Hi,
Thanks for this excellent post. this is exactly what I needed. However I have a question, once I get the xml to datagrid, i want to show the selected item of the grid into a dataform. I have tried to set the Itemsource of my dataform in XMLtoGrid() method, and also tried to set dataform.currentItem = datagrid.selectedItem to bind dataform to the current value, but it is not working. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here?
thanks again.

Great job!! I just implemented your solution and it worked great. I appreciate you posting this here. There is no way I would have figured that out on my own and I’m currently on a TIGHT deadline (aren’t we all). Thanks again.

You can do grouping using a PagedCollectionView using the binding property indexers

I just do something like this..
_pcv.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription(“Data[My Bound Property Name]“)); (for example)

my dynamic columns creator looks like this.
private DataGridColumn CreateColumn(string property)
{
return new DataGridTextColumn()
{
CanUserSort = true,
Header = property,
SortMemberPath = String.Format(“Data[{0}]“,property),
//IsReadOnly = true,
Binding = new Binding(String.Format(“Data[{0}]“,property))
};
}

Sorry – I don;t have time to include grouping in this example.

Can I get sample of custom grouping, (like your custom sorting)?
