Hi
I am developing a Silverlight web application that uses WCF services to interact with database. I return a arraylist from DAL layer to Xaml.cs but could not bind it to Datagrid.
My Code section is as follows:

if (e.Error != null)
{
    //Error Condition
}
else
{
    dataGrid1.ItemsSource = e.Result;
}

The data is not getting binded if I use datagrid1.ItemSource = e.Result;..
Please give your valuable suggestions in this regard.

Thanks
Naresh.

Solution 2

What does e.result contain? Is it a collection?

Note: Arraylists are not supported in Silverlight ~~and you need to use an ObservableCollection~~.

Any IEnumerable can be used as an itemssource, not just ObservableCollection.

You need to Either enable AutoGenerateColumns

dataGrid1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;

OR you can Add column and specify binding

XML

<sdk:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="185" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="33,66,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="325">
            <sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
                <sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding}" CanUserReorder="True" CanUserResize="True" CanUserSort="True" Header="Test" Width="Auto" />
            </sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
        </sdk:DataGrid>
