Xceed DataGrid for WPF v7.2 Documentation
Binding to an IQueryable data source

The following example demonstrates how to bind to a data source that implements IQueryable (LINQ DataContext) and allow items to be edited, deleted, inserted, and refreshed.

XAML
Copy Code
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
   <Grid.Resources>
     <xcdg:DataGridVirtualizingQueryableCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_queryableSource"

                                                             CommitMode="EditCommitted"

                                                             CommittingNewItem="DataGridVirtualizingQueryableCollectionViewSource_CommittingNewItem"

The following code provides the code-behind implementation of the CommitMode, CreatingNewItem, CommittingNewItem, CancelingNewItem, CommitItems, and RemovingItem events.
