How to USE the DataGrid component in blend?

I can drop the DataGrid component in a page but how to manage columns, headers and so.

Regards.

Yes, this is quite surprising at the beginning...

You can have a look at this blog post:

There are DataGridRow or DataGridCell or etc . you can add them on your toolbox.

Here is one solution that I found.

1. Add "System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll" as a reference to Blend.

2. Add this xmlns:my="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" in <UserControl

3. then, you can use like that <my:DataGrid></my:DataGrid>

You want to see DataGrid in Toolbox, right?

- Click on "Asset Library" (the bottom of toolbox)

- Check "Show All" checked box ( Yay! You will see DataGrid so choose it to add on toolbox) :)

Hope it helps.

Strange that the DataGrid is not on the Blend 2.5 toolbox, but only in VS2008 !?

I also notice about that. maybe, I think DataGrid maybe under different namespace or something.

The following codes are from VS. You see the differences.

Page.xaml without DataGrid

Page.xaml with DataGrid

I think that we might need some dll references or something in order to use datagird. So, Blend can't support for that or maybe, we might need to add something.
