Examples

The following example shows how to create a DataGridTemplateColumn.

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <!--DataTemplate for Published Date column defined in Grid.Resources.  PublishDate is a property on the ItemsSource of type DateTime -->
        <DataTemplate x:Key="DateTemplate" >
            <StackPanel Width="20" Height="30">
                <Border Background="LightBlue" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding PublishDate, StringFormat={}{0:MMM}}" FontSize="8" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
                </Border>
                <Border Background="White" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding PublishDate, StringFormat={}{0:yyyy}}" FontSize="8" FontWeight="Bold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
                </Border>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
        <!--DataTemplate for the Published Date column when in edit mode. -->
        <DataTemplate x:Key="EditingDateTemplate">
            <DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding PublishDate}"  />
        </DataTemplate>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <DataGrid Name="DG1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" >
        <DataGrid.Columns>
            <!--Custom column that shows the published date-->
            <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Publish Date" CellTemplate="{StaticResource DateTemplate}" CellEditingTemplate="{StaticResource EditingDateTemplate}" />
        </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>
</Grid>

The following illustration shows the output from the previous XAML.

A column using a DataTemplate

Remarks

The DataGridTemplateColumn type enables you to create your own column types by specifying the cell templates to use when displaying and editing values. To specify the template that is used to display the contents of a cell that is not in editing mode, set the CellTemplate property. To specify the template that is used to display the contents of a cell that is in editing mode, set the CellEditingTemplate property. For more information about templates, see Data Templating Overview and Styling and Templating.

For convenience, DataGrid provides the following pre-defined column types:

Column Type	Data Display
DataGridHyperlinkColumn	Use to display URI data.
DataGridComboBoxColumn	Use to display enumeration data.
DataGridTextColumn	Use to display text.
DataGridCheckBoxColumn	Use to display Boolean data.

Constructors

DataGridTemplateColumn()

Initializes a new instance of the DataGridTemplateColumn class.

Fields

CellEditingTemplateProperty	Identifies the CellEditingTemplate dependency property.

NotifyPropertyChanged(String)	Notifies the DataGrid that contains this column that a column property has changed. (Inherited from DataGridColumn)
OnCoerceIsReadOnly(Boolean)	Determines the value of the IsReadOnly property based on the property rules of the DataGrid that contains this column. (Inherited from DataGridColumn)

OnPastingCellClipboardContent(Object, Object)	Raises the PastingCellClipboardContent event. (Inherited from DataGridColumn)
OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Invoked whenever the effective value of any dependency property on this DependencyObject has been updated. The specific dependency property that changed is reported in the event data. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
PrepareCellForEdit(FrameworkElement, RoutedEventArgs)	When overridden in a derived class, sets cell content as needed for editing. (Inherited from DataGridColumn)
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
RefreshCellContent(FrameworkElement, String)	Refreshes the contents of a cell in the column in response to a template property value change.
SetCurrentValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyPropertyKey, Object)	Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ShouldSerializeProperty(DependencyProperty)	Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the value for the provided dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
