WPF: How to populate Tabitem content based on combo selected value

Question

Hi,

I have two user controls in one Main tab. (Using WPF and C#)
-> first user control consists of one Combo Box and some other elements like TextBoxes.
-> Second user Controls consists of ChildTabControl with  5 tabs.

the content inside the second childTabItem is dynamic (Which will generate textbox, combobox, listbox, etc.) based on selected item in combobox(this is in first user control).

Please suggest me or share your knoweledge to complete this

Hi,

In xxxx.xaml.cs,

1) Create a DataTable object to which than we will bind the GridView
DataTable dt=new DataTable();

2) IF you need two columns than create two DataColumn object
DataColumn dCol1=new DataColumn(FirstC, typeof(System.String)); // string FirstC="column1?
DataColumn dCol2=new DataColumn(SecondC, typeof(System.String)); // string SecondC="column2?

Add it to the table

dt.Columns.Add(dCol1);
dt.Columns.Add(dCol2);

3)Run the loop for as many rows you want to add.

// say you want to add two rows

for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
{
DataRow row1 = dt.NewRow();
row1 [FirstC] = "One";
row1 [SecondC] ="Two"
dt.Rows.Add(row1 );

}

Now iterate through each datacolumn and create a BoundField foreach column

foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
{
BoundField bField = new BoundField
bField.DataField = col.ColumnName;
bField.HeaderText = col.ColumnName;
GridView1.Columns.Add(bField);
}
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
//Bind the datatable with the GridView.
GridView1.DataBind();
