At the minute I am loading the data directly from my xaml.cs file, but I want to now get it to load from an XML file as I have no current knowledge on how to do this I was wondering if people could help me out, these are my current files: \[code\]enter code here //Create a viewmodel and add some data to it. var viewModel = new MyViewModel(); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "Yes", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Unknown", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "Yes", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); viewModel.Items.Add(new Data() { Name = "No", Type = "No", Selected = true }); //Set the window's datacontext to the ViewModel. This will make binding work. this.DataContext = viewModel; }}//This is the ViewModel used to bind datapublic class MyViewModel{ //This could just be a List<Data> but ObservableCollection<T> will automatically //update UI when items are added or removed from the collection. public ObservableCollection<Data> Items { get; set; } public MyViewModel() { Items = new ObservableCollection<Data>(); }}//Just a sample class to hold the data for the grid. //This is the class that is contained in the ObservableColleciton in the ViewModel public class Data{ public string Name { get; set; } public string Type { get; set; } public bool Selected { get; set; }}//This is an example converter. It looks to see if the element is set to "Yes" //If so, it returns Visibility.Collapsed. Otherwise, it returns Visibility.Visible. public class YesToVisibilityConverter : IValueConverter{ public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { if (value != null && value is string) { var input = (string)value; if (string.Equals(input, "Yes", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)) { return Visibility.Collapsed; } else { return Visibility.Visible; } } return Visibility.Visible; } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); }}\[/code\]}
