How to dynamically create a grid in WPF? -


i want create grid dynamically show product information e-commerce site.

i fetching product information json , want show each product details tiles view.

instead of using loads of code-behind code, suggestion using itemscontrol wrappanel inside.

<itemscontrol itemssource="{binding products}">     <itemscontrol.itemspanel>         <itemspaneltemplate>             <wrappanel isitemshost="true" />         </itemspaneltemplate>     </itemscontrol.itemspanel>     <itemscontrol.itemtemplate>         <datatemplate>             <!-- item template -->             <grid height="120" width="70">                 <grid.rowdefinitions>                     <rowdefinition height="*" />                     <rowdefinition height="3*" />                     <rowdefinition height="2*" />                 </grid.rowdefinitions>                  <textblock grid.row="0" fontweight="bold" text="{binding productname}" />                 <image grid.row="1" source="{binding thumbnail}" />                 <textblock grid.row="2" text="{binding description}" />             </grid>             <!-- item template -->         </datatemplate>     </itemscontrol.itemtemplate> </itemscontrol> 

products collection of items in datacontext (viewmodel, if you're using mvvm), , have bind properties of items in item template (like productname, thumbnail or description in example).

pros:

  • less code
  • 100% xaml
  • adapts available space
  • can configured horizontal or vertical, or left-to-right or right-to-left layouts

cons:

  • no selection
  • no headers
  • no editable templates
  • mmmh, it's not grid?

if want fancy functionalities, headers, selection, etc., you'll have use datagrid, lose tiled layout.
