Other ItemsSource in WPF

Question

I have a DataGrid dg; and I would like to display a DataGridComboBoxColumn with data populated from some list (using binding). Using XAML I have dg.ItemsSource properly set but I do not know, how to set the column's ItemsSource:

<DataGridComboBoxColumn ItemsSource={?????????} />

Could you post some code of your Collection ? Why can't you have direct access to it ? — metalcam, May 25 '11 at 09:48

<DataGridComboBoxColumn ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableOptions}" />

Here, AvailableOptions is a property of a data item bound to the grid row. This property should contain a list of options available in the combo box.

Update:

If the collection of options to select from is fixed you could use ObjectDataProvider defined in resources. See http://blogs.ugidotnet.org/ccavalli/archive/2006/02/09/34592.aspx for example.

In your case it could be something like this:

<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="Options" ObjectType="{x:Type my:MyOptions}"  />

-

<DataGridComboBoxColumn ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource Options}}" />

No, that's not so simple because I'd like to populate this column (each row) with some fixed Collection and I do not have direct access to it. I need somehow change context but I do not know how. – Cartesius00 May 25 '11 at 09:43

You can use the datacontext to get the property you are tying to bind to your DataGridComboBoxColumn.Check the below post
