Hi everybody !
I hoped this one was a simple one, but I'm quite new to WPF, so I didn't found an answer yet.

Here is the problem :I got a simple WPF Datagrid (.Net 4.0) storing reports, sorted by date. I want all the entries in the datagrid of the same day to be in one color, and alternate with another one for the other day.
Let's say for exemple, that all pair days number lines have to be red, and the other green.
The

VB

AlternatingRowBackground

property only alternates every line, and I don't see how I could use

VB

AlternatingCount

in this context...
And, i actually got a "Date" column in the Grid.

I think it has something to do with templates or triggers, am I right ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Solution 1

Some things are much easier done in code behind. You can set up a LoadingRow event on your data grid. Then, in the event, set the row background based on whatever criteria you want.

Good Luck

That's what I've done, but not what I asked, I'm really looking for a way of doing it in XAML...
