I think what we are saying is the grid only allows (without jumping some hoops described in this thread) to be bound to strongly typed classes. I am not saying that is bad, you can write wcf services which can return these structures. But this model does not work well for data driven customizable applications (I think most LOB applications are ...

Ok. Thanks much.

Thanks much for the post. But I guess how does the end user gets the new grid? If I have a app that uses the new grid, how does the above mentioned dlls get to user's machine?

Thanks. That is a pretty cool idea you got there. This solves my immediate problem of binding. I tried it out in my scenario. My application is very much configuration driven due to its nature of being customizable.
Thanks again.

Thanks much for your thoughts. I am very much interested in how to handle this situation using IValueConverter. Do you have some sample code that you can post? how do you handle rows of data. because the convert and converback don't have any parameter for the row you are on right now?
Thanks again.

Thanks Jason. I am happy to see that atleast somebody sees my point.
I am in similar situation you just described. If you have a data driven application it is impossible to do any kinda of data binding in the Silverlight. I am not sure why they are moving towards to strongly typed databindng. But it would be extreamly useful to be able to do ...

I had seen that blog before. but hoping that there might be an easier way. I was hoping there might be a way get around the strongly typed binding. In my opinion that restricts the use of silverlight quite a bit.
Thanks.

Hello Yi-Lun Luo
Thanks much for the extensive answer and the explanation. The current silverlight data binding (strongly typed) makes it very difficult to create data driven applications. As the binding expects well defined classes to be coded and compiled in the application itself.
Our web application (which needs to be a web based and so the ...

Then for that, I think you have to change your route to WPF coz WPF/E (Silverlight) is only used to handle basic and simple data flow (personally thought). For bulk application, at least me myself, would use WPF instead of Silverlight

thanks steve. the application is web based so wpf is not an ...

Thanks Steve.
Returning data row by row will probably be too slow and won't be acceptable. Also, I think there is no direct method on the DataGrid to add a row.
I also looked at the code project samples. That is precisely we DON'T want to do. If you see the sample there is a customer class. We do not want to define classes for ...
