The following code example demonstrates how to use the DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs. This example is part of a larger example available in the How to: Customize Auto-Generated Columns in the DataGrid Control topic.
Private Sub dataGrid1_AutoGeneratingColumn(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Controls.DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs) ' Modify the header of the Name column. If e.Column.Header.ToString() = "Name" Then e.Column.Header = "Task" End If ' Replace the DueDate column with a custom template column. If e.PropertyName = "DueDate" Then ' Create a new template column. Dim templateColumn As New DataGridTemplateColumn templateColumn.Header = "Due Date" templateColumn.CellTemplate = Me.Resources("dueDateCellTemplate") templateColumn.CellEditingTemplate = Me.Resources("dueDateCellEditingTemplate") templateColumn.SortMemberPath = "DueDate" ' ... ' Replace the auto-generated column with the templateColumn. e.Column = templateColumn End If ' Cancel AutoGeneration of all boolean columns. If e.PropertyType Is GetType(Boolean) Then e.Cancel = True End If End Sub
