Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration

<NameScopePropertyAttribute("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)>
Public NotInheritable Class DataGridCollectionViewSource 
   Inherits DataGridCollectionViewSourceBase

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DataGridCollectionViewSource

[TypeDescriptionProvider(MS.Internal.ComponentModel.DependencyObjectProvider)]
[NameScopeProperty("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)]
public sealed class DataGridCollectionViewSource : DataGridCollectionViewSourceBase

Remarks

The DataGridCollectionViewSource class is not a view but rather the XAML representation of the DataGridCollectionView class, which has a View property to retrieve the underlying DataGridCollectionView, and a Source property by which the underlying data source can be retrieved.

Like the standard CollectionViewSource, the DataGridCollectionViewSource allows data items to be grouped using either the default PropertyGroupDescription or the DataGridGroupDescription (recommended) and adding them to the GroupDescriptions property. Data items can also be sorted by adding the standard SortDescription structures to the SortDescriptions property, or filtered using the Filter event.

The ItemProperties collection contains a list of DataGridItemProperty objects that can be added or removed and that contain information relative to their corresponding item (you could consider these items to be the columns that will end up in a grid).

In addition to the native CollectionView filtering, the DataGridCollectionView and DataGridCollectionViewSource classes also support automatic filtering, which provides Excel-like end-user filtering according to the distinct values of each column. Automatic filtering can be enabled by setting the AutoFilterMode property to And or Or (by default, None), indicating whether data items will be filtered according to all or at least one of the filtering criteria defined by each column respectively.
