How to create DataSource dependency property on a wpf User Control
- by Michael Hedgpeth
I have a user control that wraps a grid. I want to be able to set the underlying grid's data source, but through the user control, like this:
<my:CustomGrid DataSource="{Binding Path=CollectionView}" />
I have set this up in the grid like this:
private static readonly DependencyProperty DataSourceProperty
= DependencyProperty.Register("DataSource", typeof(IEnumerable), typeof(CustomGrid));
public IEnumerable DataSource
{
get { return (IEnumerable)GetValue(DataSourceProperty); }
set
{
SetValue(DataSourceProperty, value);
underlyingGrid.DataSource = value;
}
}
But this doesn't work (it doesn't give me an error either). The data source is never set. What am I missing?
