autogeneratecolumn

I'm just learning WPF, and I gragged a table from a datasource onto a window which generated XAML for each column. Some of those columns had names that caused the following: <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="_Rev_UnitColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=Rev/Unit}" Header="Rev/Unit" Width="SizeToHeader" /> This causes the column to come up blank (like me). I (kind of randomly) tried: <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="_Rev_UnitColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=[Rev/Unit]}" Header="Rev/Unit" Width="SizeToHeader" /> And the result was everything worked as I expected it to. Looking at it again, I guess H.B.'s MSDN

I would like to programatically set tooltips to automatically generated columns in a DataGridView . I was trying to use AutoGeneratingColumn event ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc903950%28VS.95%29.aspx ), but that in fact can only access DataGridColumn , not DataGridViewColumn , and the former doesn't have ToolTipText property. Or if I could bind the ToolTips to a source that would also be great. The goal is to have the ability to manipulate/set tooltips in the same place where I set the columns for the underlying DataTable . I managed to solve it this way: void payloadDataGrid

I'm still fighting with manipulation of cell backgrounds so I'm asking a new question. A user "H.B." wrote that I can actually set the cell style during the AutoGeneratingColumn event - Change DataGrid cell colour based on values . The problem is that I'm not sure how to do it. What I want: Set different background colours for each cell depending on its value. If the value is null I also want it not to be clickable (focusable I guess). What I have / I'm trying to do: private void mydatagrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e) { foreach (Cell cell in e
