Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to set a multi-surface theme using property element syntax.

XAML

<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
   <Grid.Resources>
      <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_employees"
                                   Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current}, Path=EmployeesTable}"/>
   </Grid.Resources>
   <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="EmployeesGrid"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_employees}}">

     <xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
        <xcdg:CardflowView3D>
           <xcdg:CardflowView3D.Theme>
              <xcdg:ChameleonTheme/>
           </xcdg:CardflowView3D.Theme>
        </xcdg:CardflowView3D>
     </xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
   </xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid>
