Good luck!

Answer 2

Here's a summary of the solution.

Winform

Type: System.windows.Forms.DataGridView

// C#
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
  //"Column1" = column name in DataGridView
  string text = row.Cells["Column1"].value.ToString();
}

WPF equivalent

Type: DataGrid

// C#
foreach (DataRowView row in dataGrid.Items)
{
  string text = row.Row.ItemArray[index].ToString();
}

Answer 3

The WPF datagrid was built to bind to something like a DataTable. The majority of the time, you will modify the DataTable, and the Rows/Columns within the DataTable that is bound to the DataGrid.

The DataGrid itself is the Visual Element for the DataTable. Here is a pretty good tutorial on how to do this. To modify data within a loop would look something like this.

foreach(DataRow row in myTable.Rows)
{
    row["ColumnTitle"] = 1;
}

This would simply make all the values in Column "ColumnTitle" equal to 1. To access a single cell it would look something like this.

myTable.Rows[0][0] = 1;

This would set the first cell in your DataTable to 1.
