WPF data grid width property
Hi,
I am using WPF data grid in one of my projects, I have 2 columns in the datagrid. I have to set the width of each column dynamically. I mean i have 2 properties called Col1Width and col2 Width
Ex.
Public int Col1Width{get; set;}
public int col2Width{get;set;}
i will set the values to Col1Width and Col2Width in the constructor.
in my Xaml, I have written the below statement
<datagrid>
<datagridtextcolumn header="Col 1" width="{Binding Path=Col1Width, Mode=TwoWay}"
<datagridtextcolumn header="Col 2" width="{Binding Path=Col2Width, Mode=TwoWay}"
</datagrid>
But i am unable to get the column width changed. Can anyone guide me in getting the above requirement
Thanks,
Raj

Is it necessary to go for dependencyobject?
with the below code, i can able to set the width to a textbox. But i am not getting the same for datagrid column
width="{Binding Path=Col2Width, Mode=TwoWay}

width="{Binding Path=Col2Width, Mode=TwoWay}
don't forget that a grid is much more complex then a textbox
It looks like the data property is an int. Width is a double and this will cause a binding error in a GridViewColumn width.
