Grouping Key when using dynamically created data
posted

Hi - When I bind a dynamically created column and use the IGGridViewDataSourceHelper.GroupKey together the grid no longer generates properly.

I've attached a sample project.

How do I use both dynamically created data and be able to group on a particular column?

    Hi, 

    That's b/c the grouping can't resolve. Setting the value to "Motion" tells the data source to look for a property called Motion on your data object. However your data object doesn't even expose any properties. 

    The easiest solution for you would simply to be to add a grouping property to your cSimpleGrid object:

    [Export("group")]
            public string Group
            {
                get 
                {
                    return this["Motion"].ToString();
                }
            }

    Then you would set the grouping key to be "group"

    dsh.GroupingKey = "group";

    It's very important that you export that property. And also to use whatever value you use for the export as the GroupingKey. 

    It's worth noting, that while i hardCoded "Motion" into the data object, you wouldn't necessarily have to do that. The grouping key could be a value you pass into the ctor of cSimpleGrid so that it could be more by dynamic. 

    Hope this helps.
