WPF C # Data Binding with DataGridTextColumn

Question

I find it difficult to find any data in this datagrid view. I followed some suggestions in several other posts on StackOverflow, but I was not lucky that the content appeared.

<DataGrid x:Name="DataGridEmployees" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" ItemsSource="{Binding GridView}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Loaded="dataGrid1_Loaded" Margin="0,2,0,-2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Header="EmployeeId" Width="175" Binding="{Binding Id}"></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Title" Width="175" Binding="{Binding Title}"></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="WorkStatus" Width="175" Binding="{Binding WorkStatus}"></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="FullName" Width="175" Binding="{Binding FullName}"></DataGridTextColumn> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> 

This is a click event that fires from a separate window (could this be causing any problems?) In the xaml.cs file

 public partial class MainMenu : Window { WpfSampleEntities2 _context = new WpfSampleEntities2(); public MainMenu() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { EmployeeDetails ed = new EmployeeDetails(); ed.DataContext = ed.DomainEmployees; Binding bin = new Binding("GridView"); bin.Source = ed.DomainEmployees; foreach (var item in ed.DomainEmployees) { bin.Path.PathParameters.Add(item); } ed.Show(); } } 

And here is EmployeeDetails.cs class / vm:

 [TypeConverter(typeof(DataGridTextColumn))] public class MVVMEmployee : Employee { public int Id { get; set; } public string FullName { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string WorkStatus { get; set; } public MVVMEmployee() { } public MVVMEmployee(int id, string fullName, string title, string workStatus) { this.Id = id; this.FullName = fullName; this.Title = title; this.WorkStatus = workStatus; } } 

I also tried with XAML as:

 <DataGrid x:Name="DataGridEmployees" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" ItemsSource="{Binding GridView}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Loaded="dataGrid1_Loaded" Margin="0,2,0,-2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Header="EmployeeId" Width="175" Binding="{Binding ElementName=Id}" ></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="Title" Width="175" Binding="{Binding ElementName=Title}"></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="WorkStatus" Width="175" Binding="{Binding ElementName=WorkStatus}"></DataGridTextColumn> <DataGridTextColumn Header="FullName" Width="175" Binding="{Binding ElementName=FullName}"></DataGridTextColumn> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> 

Answer 1

 myWindow w = new myWindow(); w.DataContext = myViewModel; w.Show(); DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" 

OR

 <Window x:Name="MyWindow" /> //DataGrid {Binding DataContext, ElementName=MyWindow} ItemsSource="{Binding MyViewModel.MyList}"
