I just want a blank GridView with header in UWP using XAML. It must contain line between each column till certain height.The Grid will look like this.
I appreciate any advices. Thank you.
Check out the new DataGrid control that is currently being worked on by Microsoft itself. It is available via NuGet as a prerelease package, but should be available as a normal control later on. You can find more information here
Documentation is not plenty given that it is quite new, but it does work in very similar ways to the WPF DataGrid control. You can find more information about how the WPF control works here.

I am totally new to programming in c# and have no previous experience with Object Oriented programming. I am teaching myself, so please I have many questions. I created a simple array that takes information from (STEP Text file) and displays it in a TextBox, now I am trying to put this information in Grid (like table) instead of showing them in a TextBox. I found Grid and Datagrid in the Toolbox window, but couldn't find DataGridView. I am using Visual Studio 2015. I would like to know:
How can I add DataGridView to my project?
Is there a simple code to put the information in a grid?
Since I am a beginner, please, be patient with me.
The reason is DataGridView is Windows Forms control and is available in Windows Forms project type only. You wont be able to use that in your WPF project. The equivalent in WPF is DataGrid.
As for the part regarding adding information in a grid, you will have to set the DataContext property of the DataGrid. For learning WPF, I would recommend to check out the two websites below:
https://wpftutorial.net/DataGrid.html
http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/WPFDataGrid.aspx
WPFTookit has number of slick features. However, I am trying to find a way to save and restore its columns layout into xml. The .NET stock DataGrid has DataGridColumn.DisplayIndex and ColumnIndex properties that enable this functionality, as described here. How to do this for WPFToolkit's DataGrid ?
I tried this snippet from XCeed documentation, but apparently XCeed.Wpf.DataGrid.Settings.SettingsRepository has been removed.
Sample code is highly appreciated.
First, I went and looked at the basic documentation, didn't see the functions there. So, I went and checked through source history to see if it was in there and it wasn't.
Knowing that they have paid and free versions of the toolkit, I thought I'd look at the DataGrid for that too. Whilst I didn't see it on the main Xceed website, I did find that it turns out those features are only available with the Advanced DataGrid.
So this means that you would need to implement your own custom save/restore settings rather than relying on their functions.
EDIT
HINT: All of the columns should have a VisibilePosition
I already looked through the internet but could not find a tutorial that showed the creation of a ListView in Expression Blend. I do not want to modify existing ListViews that are part of Blend, as I have done that already.
I need a tutorial that shows the first steps of creating a custom ListView and, in my case, specifically states all the parts the ListView consists of.
A button for example, can be created in Blend by drawing a Rectangle, adding a ContentPresenter and converting that into a Button user control. I would like to do the same thing for a ListView.
I went through that post already but since it is about WinForms I could not draw any helpful conclusions.
I am thankful for links to similar posts, tutorials and even code snippets.
After a long night of further research I came across this answer. I installed the Windows SDK and there are files that contain the ControlTemplates for WPF Controls. Using them as a blueprint gives me the possibility of creating my own desired version of the ListView.
Please forgive any silly words I may say. I am coming from a Actionscript3 background.
I am using "Visual C# 2010 Express".
I have a simple Form, in a WindowsForm Project, which currently holds just a Listbox. (Which I presume I will have to change to something else).
And I made myself a different display object (User Control) that is currently a Checkbox a title. (More will be added once I get over the hurdle below)
But I can't even get as far as Displaying the UserControl as a list.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the listbox to say "User this displayobject as the visual for listbox". I see tutorials saying "ItemsPanelTemplate" but I get error saying there is no such property for a Listbox.
I even tried making the Form in Design view and it is not in the list down the side of the GUI when I dragged as Listbox on screen.
Now I know how I would do this in pure Actionscript, but I dont know how to do this in Pure C#. Tutorials are not helping, as all the Microsoft site seems to try to give me is XAML (XML). and I am looking for C# code. So I have thrown in the towel and pleading for outside help.
Thank you for any help you can give.
It sounds like you want a list of items, each with a CheckBox and some descriptive text. Try using the CheckedListBox control. MSDN link.
This question also answers the question of how to do custom image drawing for each item in a ListBox. It may be helpful.
Edit after clarification:
Try embedding the UserControl in a ListView, rather than a ListBox.
References on embedding controls in ListViews:
C# listview - embedding controls
Adding button into a Listview in WinForms
You could also use a list of Panels, with each Panel hosting a UserControl.
C# List of Panels
But the real answer, as seen in the question's comments, is that Winforms doesn't have a convenient way to do this. This is a task much better suited to WPF.
You may check out freeware component Better ListView Express from ComponentOwl. It supports simple Details view without columns, two and three-state checkboxes, images and more...
They also offers full version with even more nice features like hierarchical and multi-line items.
I am creating an app for Windows Phone 7. It's kind of searching train details. I did almost everything that fetching data from DB but I am unable to add datagrid or gridview in my application.
The problem is I am unable to add these two controls in my Toolbox. Please give me some suggestion or work around if it is not possible. Also I have to show the details of each row once I click on ID.
Thanks
Yeah. That link basically suggests this article. While it is a workable way it also means huge amount of work, see my comments to the mentioned article.
As a developer working on the inclusion of DataGrid into Resco MobileForms Toolkit I'd like to ask you if you expect any advanced features from the DataGrid. Things such as grouping, column freezing will have to be stripped off.
