Adding xamDataGrid to Your Page

This topic is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible by describing the basic steps required for adding the xamDataGrid™ control.

Create a Microsoft® Windows® Presentation Foundation Window project.

In the Solution Explorer, add the following references to your project:
- InfragisticsWPF.dll
- InfragisticsWPF.Editors.dll
- InfragisticsWPF.DataPresenter.dll

Add a namespace declaration for xamDataGrid.

In XAML:

xmlns:igDP="http://infragistics.com/DataPresenter"

In Visual Basic:

Imports Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter

In C#:

using Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter;

Name the default Grid layout panel in the Window so that you can reference it in the code-behind.

In XAML:
```
<Grid Name="layoutRoot">
</Grid>
```

Attach an event handler to the Window’s Loaded event if you are going to add the xamGrid using code-behind.

In XAML:
```
<Window ... Loaded="Window_Loaded" ... >
```

Create an instance of xamDataGrid. Set the BindToSampleData property to True. This will automatically populate xamDataGrid with sample data so that you can preview the xamDataGrid control without setting up a data source. Add the xamDatgrid in the main grid.

In XAML:

<igDP:XamDataGrid Name="xamDataGrid1" BindToSampleData="True" />

In Visual Basic:

Private xamDataGrid1 as XamDataGrid
xamDataGrid1 = New XamDataGrid()
' You can data bind your instance of xamDataGrid
' instead of using the built in sample data
xamDataGrid1.BindToSampleData = True
Me.layoutRoot.Children.Add(xamDataGrid1)

In C#:

private XamDataGrid xamDataGrid1;
xamDataGrid1 = new XamDataGrid();
// You can data bind your instance of xamDataGrid
// instead of using the built in sample data
xamDataGrid1.BindToSampleData = true;
this.layoutRoot.Children.Add(xamDataGrid1);

Run the project to see the xamDataGrid control populated with sample data.
