                    </DataGridColumn.HeaderStyle>
                </DataGridCheckBoxColumn>

</DataGrid.Columns>

This code gives a textblock column, calender type column ,and check box column at the design time . my question is how i can generate the same situation at run time using codebehind. in fact I require C# equivalent of above code .

any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

If you go to the MSDN documentation for each class and property in your XAML, then you will see the C# equivalent. Much of it is easy to figure out for yourself. See here[^] for a sample.

But I am not getting much grip on that can you give a sample how a calender column generate at runtime

What is a Calendar Column?
Why not just forget the WPF and go back to pure C# and build your project from that. Using a simple Windows form the designer will generate the code for you. Alternatively Espen has given you a useful answer in his solution.

Inside the obj folder of your project there will be a *.g.cs file for your xaml file - Most of what you are looking for will proably be there.

To add a column at runtime do the following:

DataGridTextColumn textColumn = new DataGridTextColumn();  
dataColumn.Header = "First Name";  
dataColumn.Binding = new Binding("FirstName");  
dataGrid.Columns.Add(textColumn);

Update

DataGridTemplateColumn col = new DataGridTemplateColumn(); 
col.Header = "Date"; 
 
// Create a factory. This will create the controls in each cell of this 
// column as needed. 
FrameworkElementFactory factory = 
    new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(DatePicker)); 
 
// Bind the value of this cell to the value of the Date property of the 
// DataContext of this row. The StringFormat "d" will be used to display 
// the value. 
Binding b = new Binding("Date"); 
b.StringFormat = "d"; 
factory.SetValue(DatePicker.SelectedDateProperty, b); 
 
// Create the template itself, and add the factory to it. 
DataTemplate cellEditingTemplate = new DataTemplate(); 
cellEditingTemplate.VisualTree = factory; 
 
col.CellEditingTemplate = cellEditingTemplate;

best solution for this is

C#

string xaml="http://Schemas.microsoft.com//winfx//2006//xaml//presentation"+
            "xmlns:x=http://Schemas.microsoft.com//winfx//2006//xaml"+
           "<ur xaml code>";

XmlReader xml =XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xaml));
UIElement element =(UIElement)XamlReader.Load(xml);

<basecontrol>.Children.Add(element);
</basecontrol></xaml>

this can b used to run any xaml code at runtime
