Updating bound DataSet data on another thread
posted

Hello,

I have a XamDataGrid that is bound to a DataSet. I would like to continuously and asynchronously update the DataSet on a thread (record adds, record deletes, and record updates). At the same time, I want to keep the users current position in the grid (unless of course they are on a record that gets deleted).

From what I have read on this forum, the grid doesn't support thread updates to its DataSource. As a workaround, I have considered the idea of:

* Sending the grid's DataSet to a thread.

* Duplicating the DataSet into a separate instance.

* Updating the duplicate DataSet.

* Forcibly merging the changes back into the original DataSet on the UI thread.

While this in theory should work, duplicating and merging DataSets can be very time-costly for large amounts of data. Are there any alternatives?

Thanks.
