This is a bit long, but I'm really stuck and could use some help.

App Overview
I'm working on a construction management app. There are Projects with any number of houses. The houses are built in groups, or Jobs, where each Job can have any number of houses. For example, a project with 100 house might have 4 Jobs of 25 houses each.

Supplies are delivered to the jobs at specified intervals after the Project start date. These intervals are called Durations and the deliveries are called Drops.

So on the Project tab there is the Start Date and Max # Floors. If there are 1 and 2 story houses, then Max Floors is 2. On the Projects tab, when the Max Floors is set grids are created... one for each Story. See this picture. It shows the Settings dialog and the auto-generated DataGrids.

You can see that when # floors was set, the app read the data from the Settings and populated the list content. Each Story is a list row. The ListItem contains the BuildingType (Stories) and a single row data grid to hold the scheduled. values.

The columns in the grids are created from the Pack names. The numeric columns are used to specify the number of days past the Project Start Date when the deliveries arrive.

The Code
I followed this article.

View
<TabItem Header="Durations">

<pre>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding ProjectDurations}">

    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>

            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"
                        Margin="5">

                <TextBlock Text="{Binding BuildingType}"
                            FontSize="14"
                            FontWeight="Bold"/>

                <DataGrid x:Name="projectPacksGrid"
                            AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
                            BorderBrush="SteelBlue"
                            BorderThickness="1"
                            ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Table2}"
                            mcb:DataGridColumnsBehavior.BindableColumns="{Binding Columns2}"/>

            </StackPanel>

        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>

</ListBox>




VM
/// <summary>
/// Auto-generates the listbox ItemSource, which is a list of data grids
/// </summary>
private void LoadDurationGrid()
{
    if (Project.MaxFloors > 0)
    {
        var durationData = AppCore.BizObject.GetProjectDurationPacks(Project.Id);

        ProjectDurations = new ObservableCollection<ProjectSchedulePackModel>();

        var buildingTypes = BuildingTypes.Where(x => x.NumberOfFloors <= Project.MaxFloors).ToList();

        foreach (var buildingType in buildingTypes)
        {
            List<string> data = new List<string>();

            ProjectSchedulePackModel entity = new ProjectSchedulePackModel
            {
                BuildingType = buildingType.Caption
            };

            var schedulePacks = _schedulePacks.Where(x => x.BuildingTypeId == buildingType.Id).OrderBy(x => x.Sequence).ToList();

            foreach (var schedulePack in schedulePacks)
            {
                var colName = "col" + schedulePack.Id;
                entity.Table2.Columns.Add(colName, typeof(string));
                Binding binding = new Binding(colName);

                DataGridTextColumn column = new DataGridTextColumn
                {
                    Header = schedulePack.Caption,
                    Binding = binding
                };

                entity.Columns2.Add(column);

                var day = durationData.Where(x => x.SchedulePackId == schedulePack.Id).Select(x => x.Days).FirstOrDefault();

                data.Add(day.ToString());
            }

            entity.Table2.Rows.Add(data.ToArray());
            ProjectDurations.Add(entity);
        }
    }
}

    }

    foreach (DataGridColumn column in columns)
    {
        dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);   // <============   ERROR HERE

Problem
When I auto-generate, then switch off the Durations tab, then back, I get an error on the line above with the arrow. See this pic with the exception: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjBmoYAYz_v2ghfz0GFmUMkyq3Hr

What I think is happening is the binding system is trying to rebind the datagrid, but that's a guess. I'm really stuck here and could use some help.

And, if anyone has a better way, I'm all ears.

Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
