DataGrid.AutoGeneratingColumn Event
.NET Framework (current version)
Occurs when an individual column is auto-generated.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
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" />
'Access and update columns during autogeneration Private Sub DG1_AutoGeneratingColumn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs) Dim headername As String = e.Column.Header.ToString() 'Cancel the column you don't want to generate If headername = "MiddleName" Then e.Cancel = True End If 'update column details when generating If headername = "FirstName" Then e.Column.Header = "First Name" ElseIf headername = "LastName" Then e.Column.Header = "Last Name" ElseIf headername = "EmailAddress" Then e.Column.Header = "Email" End If End Sub
