I need to add columns to silverlight columns at runtime and also perform the bindings for the columns.

This is how i do it statically in xaml
HTML
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn  CanUserReorder="True" CanUserResize="True" CanUserSort="True"  Header="CriteriaName" Width="2*" Binding="{Binding Path=[CriteriaName]}" IsReadOnly="True"  />


Now i want do the same in code behind,

here is what i have done
C#
foreach(string Col in lColumnNames)
           {
               DataGridTextColumn DGCol=new DataGridTextColumn();
               DGCol.Header= Col;


               Binding lObjBinding = new Binding(Col);
               lObjBinding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;

               DGCol.Binding = lObjBinding;
               GrdQuickFindResult.Columns.Add(DGCol);


           }


This is not working.All i can see are blank rows in the DataGrid,as if the binding hasn't happened. Pls check and tell me if all the things that i have done using xaml is done using C# as well or is there some property that is left to be set in the Binding Object that i have created.
Thanx

Hello
I have never tried this, but I see that the Binding (lObjBinding) does not have a Source or RelativeSource.

I think the Binding use the parent/holder's source when you add it in the XAML. In the XAML, it knows that the Source is each item in the DataGrid's ItemsSource.
When you create the binding in by code, you may have to set Source for the Binding manually.
