Hi,

I am creating dynamic class file (Entity) which will be going to assign to Dataform which is act as dynamic data so for that data (class file) I need to add user defined controls for each field instead of autogenerated controls to it...

For that I need to Apply dataTemplate to DataForm programmitically.

Thanks,

Abhinay.

Thanks for great help Smile ,

I found the solution for my problem.

I for that I used following code..

 df.EditTemplate = CreteDataTemplate();
 df.OnApplyTemplate();


private DataTemplate CreteDataTemplate()
        {
            string dtxaml = "<DataTemplate xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' xmlns:dataform='clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.Toolkit'    xmlns:controls='clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls'>"
                            +"<StackPanel>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField>"
                             +"<TextBox Text='{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}' />"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField>"
                                +"<TextBox Text='{Binding State, Mode=TwoWay}' />"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField>"
                                +"<TextBox Text='{Binding Country, Mode=TwoWay}' />"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField>"
                                + "<CheckBox IsChecked='{Binding IsMetropolitanCity, Mode=TwoWay}' />"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField>"
                               + "<ComboBox x:Name='cboSelectedUnit' ItemsSource='{Binding Sex, Mode=TwoWay}'>"
                               +"</ComboBox>"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            + "<dataform:DataField Label='Calendar'>"
                                + "<controls:Calendar></controls:Calendar>"
                            + "</dataform:DataField>"
                            +"</StackPanel>"
                            +"</DataTemplate>";
