WPF code binding

Question

To display a data table in a ListView, I

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource AdministrationView}}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" Name="lvTable"> <ListView.ItemContainerStyle> ... stuff ... </ListView.ItemContainerStyle> <ListView.View> <GridView> <GridViewColumn Header="Pattern"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Pattern}" /> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn> <GridViewColumn Header="Account"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=AccountName}" /> .... closing tags ....... 

with resource

 <Window.Resources> <CollectionViewSource x:Key="AdministrationView"/> </Window.Resources> 

and code for

 var db = new XDataContext(); var data = db.Translations; var viewSource = (CollectionViewSource)FindResource("AdministrationView"); viewSource.Source = data; 

=====

Now, if I want to display one of several possible tables, I would like to bind the code, so I have

 data = .... var tb = new TextBox(); var binding = new Binding("Pattern"); binding.Source = db.Accounts; tb.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, binding); 

but I can't figure out how to attach a TextBox to one of the GridViewColumn (s).

Any thoughts?

thanks

here is a dynamic gene solution i found on the internet and it works great.

 public class MyListView : ListView { public MyListView() { ItemsSourceProperty.AddOwner(typeof(MyListView), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, OnItemsSourcePropertyChanged)); } private static void OnItemsSourcePropertyChanged(DependencyObject dependencyObject, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.OldValue != e.NewValue && e.NewValue != null) { var lv = (MyListView)dependencyObject; var gridView = new GridView(); lv.View = gridView; gridView.AllowsColumnReorder = true; var properties = lv.DataType.GetProperties(); foreach (var pi in properties) { var binding = new Binding {Path = new PropertyPath(pi.Name), Mode = BindingMode.OneWay}; var gridViewColumn = new GridViewColumn() {Header = pi.Name, DisplayMemberBinding = binding}; gridView.Columns.Add(gridViewColumn); } } } public Type DataType { get; set; } } <local:MyListView x:Name="listView" DataType="{x:Type dbTranslationsType}" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource AdministrationView}}"> 

hope this helps
