How do I bind a WPF DataGrid to a variable number of columns?

Question

My WPF application generates sets of data which may have a different number of columns each time. Included in the output is a description of each column that will be used t

Made a version of the accepted answer that handles unsubscription.

public class DataGridColumnsBehavior
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty BindableColumnsProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("BindableColumns",
                                            typeof(ObservableCollection),
                                            typeof(DataGridColumnsBehavior),
                                            new UIPropertyMetadata(null, BindableColumnsPropertyChanged));

    /// 
Collection to store collection change handlers - to be able to unsubscribe later.
    private static readonly Dictionary _handlers;

    static DataGridColumnsBehavior()
    {
        _handlers = new Dictionary();
    }

    private static void BindableColumnsPropertyChanged(DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        DataGrid dataGrid = source as DataGrid;

        ObservableCollection oldColumns = e.OldValue as ObservableCollection;
        if (oldColumns != null)
        {
            // Remove all columns.
            dataGrid.Columns.Clear();

            // Unsubscribe from old collection.
            NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler h;
            if (_handlers.TryGetValue(dataGrid, out h))
            {
                oldColumns.CollectionChanged -= h;
                _handlers.Remove(dataGrid);
            }
        }

        ObservableCollection newColumns = e.NewValue as ObservableCollection;
        dataGrid.Columns.Clear();
        if (newColumns != null)
        {
            // Add columns from this source.
            foreach (DataGridColumn column in newColumns)
                dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);

            // Subscribe to future changes.
            NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler h = (_, ne) => OnCollectionChanged(ne, dataGrid);
            _handlers[dataGrid] = h;
            newColumns.CollectionChanged += h;
        }
    }

    static void OnCollectionChanged(NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs ne, DataGrid dataGrid)
    {
        switch (ne.Action)
        {
            case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset:
                dataGrid.Columns.Clear();
                foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.NewItems)
                    dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
                break;
            case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add:
                foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.NewItems)
                    dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);
                break;
            case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Move:
                dataGrid.Columns.Move(ne.OldStartingIndex, ne.NewStartingIndex);
                break;
            case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove:
                foreach (DataGridColumn column in ne.OldItems)
                    dataGrid.Columns.Remove(column);
                break;
            case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace:
                dataGrid.Columns[ne.NewStartingIndex] = ne.NewItems[0] as DataGridColumn;
                break;
        }
    }

    public static void SetBindableColumns(DependencyObject element, ObservableCollection value)
    {
        element.SetValue(BindableColumnsProperty, value);
    }

    public static ObservableCollection GetBindableColumns(DependencyObject element)
    {
        return (ObservableCollection)element.GetValue(BindableColumnsProperty);
    }
}
