Introduction

This article describes how to add a Hyperlink button and CheckBox in a Silverlight DataGrid.

We can add a Hyperlink button to a Silverlight DataGrid.

Step 1: Add HyperlinkButton in Silverlight DataGrid

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
 <sdk:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="True" Height="121" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="42,15,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="281" >
 <sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
 <sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Hyperlink">
 <sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
 <DataTemplate x:Name="gridTemplate"

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
 <HyperlinkButton Content="Hyperlinkbutton" Tag="Hyperlinkbutton" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
 </StackPanel>
 </DataTemplate>
 </sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
 </sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn>
 </sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
 </sdk:DataGrid>
 </Grid>

DataGrid looks like as following:

Step 2: Add Hyperlinkbutton in Silverlight DataGrid dynamically

DataGridTemplateColumn templateColumn = new DataGridTemplateColumn();
templateColumn.Header = " Hyperlink ";
templateColumn.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["gridTemplate "];
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(templateColumn)

Step 3: Add CheckBox in Silverlight DataGrid

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
 <sdk:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="True" Height="121" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="42,15,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="281" >
 <sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
 <sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="CheckBox">
 <sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
 <DataTemplate x:Name=" gridCheckBoxTemplate ">
 <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
 <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=Option, Mode=TwoWay}" />
 </StackPanel>
 </DataTemplate>
 </sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
 </sdk:DataGridTemplateColumn>
 </sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
 </sdk:DataGrid>
 </Grid>

A DataGrid looks like as following:

Step 4: Add CheckBox in Silverlight DataGrid dynamically

DataGridTemplateColumn templateColumn = new DataGridTemplateColumn();
templateColumn.Header = "Checkbox";
templateColumn.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["gridCheckBoxTemplate"];
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(templateColumn);

Summary

We can add the hyperlinkbutton and CheckBox to a Silverlight DataGrid.
