What would be the simplest way of displaying unbound data such as the contents fo a tab delimted text file in the data grid control or a two-dimensional array of strings (read-only)
The only way I can think of so far is to convert the text file contents into xml which seems like a very cumbersome approach. Is there anything neater/more efficient solution than this.
I suspect that the grid control isn't really suitable for such a task and an Excel grid type control would be more suitable but not sure if they is such a control commerically available.
Hello SCurle,
XML is not the only option you have. You can bind the grid to several different types of collection object. The main requirement for binding to a collection is that it implements the IEnumerable interface.
You can read more about binding data to the grid here.
Just as an addition, we consider including Clipboard support for the XamDataGrid in future releases so make you that you stay tuned for that.
