Hello
I have currently coded based on sample http://labs.infragistics.com/silverlight/lobsamples/2010.3/#/Samples/Grid/ColumnSettings/GridTemplateColumnLayout
Is it possible to have a grid in the DataTemplate?
Can I use Grid within to show the details
How would i refer to that grid
Hi,
Yes, it would be possible to put a nested xamGrid inside the TemplateColumnLayout.
Although you might have some performance issues as the objects in the TemplateColumnLayout are virtualized, and since we don't know about the objects in there, no state is kept. So each time you scroll one into view, it'll be re-loaded.
As for accessing the controls in the TemplateColumLayout. It's not really recommended, as they are virtualized/recycled. So any changes you make would potentially be displayed in another cell when it's scroll into view.
Is there a reason you don't want to use a normal columnLayout to display your data?

The reason not to use normal layout is due to formatting
I need it to be formatted as grid
There are almost 20-30 columns that we have and not all need to be edited so non editable can be kept as Template columns
IfI use template column layout it does not recognise nested grid
Can you provide how that would look?
