DataGrid: How to set different row backgound for different rows from viewModel

11-05-2009 4:15 PM |

 I'm looking for a way to use viewmodel to set DataGrid RowBackGround based on this row property values.

I tried code below but viewModel RowBackGround property getter is called only once. How to force RowBackGround getter in viewModel called for every row ?

Andrus.

    <UserControl.Resources>
        <content:VirtualGridFormModel x:Key="viewModel" />
    </UserControl.Resources>

    <Grid DataContext="{StaticResource viewModel}">

            <DataGrid  RowBackground="{Binding Path=RowBackground, Mode=TwoWay}"
           />
>

public class VirtualGridFormModel: INotifyPropertyChanged {
   public Brush RowBackground
        {
            get
            {

....

Hi Andrus,

You can't do that from xaml code. Use LoadingRow event of DataGrid and set background of row in handler
