DataGrid::AutoGeneratingColumn Event

Occurs when an individual column is auto-generated.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation

public:
 event EventHandler<DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs^>^ AutoGeneratingColumn {
	void add (EventHandler<DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs^>^ value);
	void remove (EventHandler<DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs^>^ value);
}
<object AutoGeneratingColumn="EventHandler<DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs>" .../>

You can change or cancel the column being created in the AutoGeneratingColumn event handler.

When all columns are auto-generated, the AutoGeneratedColumns event occurs.

The following example shows how to auto-generate columns and change the columns at creation time in the AutoGeneratingColumn event handler.


<!-- The DataGrid.DataContext is a DataTable that contains a list of customers.  The DataTable columns are  
     Title, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Suffix, CompanyName, EmailAddress, and Phone.-->
<DataGrid Name="DG1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" AutoGeneratingColumn="DG1_AutoGeneratingColumn" />
