    Hello Mohammad,

     

    Thank you for you post. I have been looking into to question that you are having and the ComboBoxColumn is not deriving from the FrameworkElement class and is not part of the Visual Tree of the application, which means that when you are using binding to some of the properties of the Columns of the XamGrid, you should set the Source of the binding.

     

    I have created a sample application for you, that shows how you can create a Binding Proxy class that allows you to bind property of a Column in the Columns collection of the XamGrid to either the XamGrid itself or to its DataContext as follows:

     

                    <ig:ComboBoxColumn

                        Key="City"

                        DisplayMemberPath="Name">

                        <local:FieldBindingProxy.FieldBindingProxies>

                            <local:FieldBindingProxyCollection>

                                <local:FieldBindingProxy

                                    BindingSource="DataContext"

                                    PropertyPath="Cities"

                                    FieldPropertyPath="ItemsSource"/>

                            </local:FieldBindingProxyCollection>                            

                        </local:FieldBindingProxy.FieldBindingProxies>

                    </ig:ComboBoxColumn>

     

    This allows you to bind the ItemsSource of the ComboBoxColumn to the Cities property of the DataContext of the XamGrid.

     

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.

     

    Sincerely,
