Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Sub BindCellContent( _
   ByVal cellContent As FrameworkElement, _

public virtual void BindCellContent( 
   FrameworkElement cellContent,
   DataGridRow row
)

Parameters

cellContent: Visual element that will be bound in order to display the cell content. If the cellContent received is not the expected you'll probably need to override the method GetCellContentRecyclingKey.
row: Row for which the cell will be initialized.

Remarks

This method must include cellContent property settings, SetBinding of the corresponding dependency property being "row.DataItem" the source which can be set directly in the binding or as DataContext of the cellContent.

This method is called after a cell content is created or a recycled one is taken.

Example

var txt = (TextBlock)cellContent;
            txt.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment;
            txt.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment;
            Binding newBinding = CopyBinding(Binding);
            newBinding.Source = row.DataItem;
            txt.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, newBinding);
