Hello,

<igDP:XamDataGrid DataSource="{Binding}" x:Name="xamContact" > <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts> <igDP:FieldLayout> <igDP:Field Name="DepartmentName" Label="Department Name" /> <igDP:Field Name="FirstName" Width="100" Label="First Name" /> <igDP:Field Name="LastName" Label="Last Name" /> <igDP:Field Name="RoleName" Label="Role Name" /> <igDP:ComboBoxField Name="Contactby" Visibility="Visible" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Label="Contactby"></igDP:ComboBoxField> <igDP:Field Name="ContactType" Label="ContactType" Visibility="Collapsed" /> </igDP:FieldLayout> </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts> </igDP:XamDataGrid>
in the code behind i want populate the xamDataGrid included the ComboBox field"Contactby"(situated in the xamDataGrid) as follows:
public DataTable GetContTable() { DataTable tableCont = new DataTable(); tableCont.Columns.Add("DepartmentName", typeof(string)); tableCont.Columns.Add("FirstName", typeof(string)); tableCont.Columns.Add("LastName", typeof(string)); tableCont.Columns.Add("RoleName", typeof(string)); tableCont.Columns.Add("Contactby", typeof(object)); tableCont.Columns.Add("ContactType", typeof(string)); tableCont.Columns[5].ColumnMapping = MappingType.Hidden; return tableCont; } public void AddRowsCont(DataTable dtcont) { string[] card = new string[1000]; for (int i = 0; i < lstContactBy.Items.Count; i++)// in this listbox the number of string is dinamic then can change number of items each time need insert a new record in the xamdatagrid { card[i] = lstContactBy.Items[i].ToString(); } dtcont.Rows.Add(txtDepartment.Text, txtFirstName.Text, txtlastName.Text, txtROlename.Text,card ,"SKYPE"); } //here is the button to insert the data in the xamdatagrid AddRowsCont(tableCont); xamContact.DataSource = tableCont.DefaultView;
the result is the xamdatagrid can be populate instead the ComboBox "Contactby" is populate only with a message'String[] Array' How i can populate the ComboBox with items without any errors?
Thanks
Jay

I have no idea how a xamdatagrid works or a comboboxfield in one.
You seem to be binding the itemssource of the combo to whatever is in the row.
<igDP:ComboBoxField Name="Contactby" Visibility="Visible" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Label="Contactby"></igDP:ComboBoxField>
That seems unlikely to be right.
This article describes how to bind a datagridcomboboxcolumn in a wpf datagrid:

Maybe you could change to use a regular datagrid or the comboboxfield works similarly enough you could adapt the approach.
