How to Populate DataGrid with the desired form of information.

Question

I have an object 'a' of class A that has string attributes and a list of objects of class B. Class B has string attributes c and d.
Object a is to be used as a DataSource for a DataGrid.
I want to populate the Grid with the value 'c', but the grid shows type of B."

Is there a way to display c without having to recurse through all the objects?

Answer 1

Hi,

Ste the a.ListOfB property as Itemsource to the DataGrid, so you can bind the properties of B classes to the columns.

Answer 2

to bind the DataGrid, object a must be a DataTable or DataSource. So you can populate object a with c values from object B, e.g. fill object a with obj_b.value_c.

by d way, how are you going to fill object a before binding it to datagrid?
