WPF Datagrid - DataBinding C#

Question

I'm fresh new to WPF, and I've been trying to populate a DataGrid, but it shows no values...

As you can see: http://i.epvpimg.com/EJ0Bh.png

Code:

List<FileI> files = new List<FileI>();
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles("profileSettings"))
{
    files.Add(new FilI( { fileName = file, fileSize = new FileInfo(file).Length }));
}

dgFilesToExtract.ItemsSource = files;

I checked the folder, there are 2 files, and I placed a BP before the ItemsSource property is set, and the list has items.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Your file class only contains fields but you can only bind to properties. Read the documentation.

In your File class define properties over the variables and set AutogenerateColumns = true on your datagrid

So I should create a new question, regarding this blurry font problem? – Rodrigo Silva Sep 09 '13 at 18:53
yes, you should always post a separate question and not combine them into one. – Dave Oct 21 '13 at 12:55

It looks like you are setting the ItemsSource property of the grid in code AND binding it in the XAML. Try removing the binding statement in the XAML.

The XAML value is irrelevant to the problem as it gets replaced on click. Would remove it nonetheless because it of course serves no purpose. – H.B. Sep 09 '13 at 18:37
You are correct, I didn't notice that it was being set inside code on a button click. – LeftyCoder Sep 09 '13 at 18:42
