Krasimir,

Your sample was extraordinarily helpful, thank you.

I have a few other questions.  First, the dropdown would never populate unless I added the following Setter property:

<Setter Property="SelectedIndex" Value="0" />

Why do you think that is?  In your example the dropdowns were populated, and in mine they were blank until I added the setter.

The next question I have is how do I get the selected index to work?  I want the first item in the list to be showing and I was thinking setting the selected index would do that, but all it did was make the data appear.

Thank you.

Mike.

Krasimir,

I do need some help, and I am not sure of the best way to go about it. I'll post a code snippet and maybe I am doing something wrong syntactally you can see.  Basically, I took your code example and used it and added a setter property for SelectedIndex.  Here is the code, hopefully you can see what my error is.  Just to summerize, no data was appearing in the drop downs until I added the SelectedIndex setter property.  However, the size of the dropdown was appropriate for the number of rows that should have been showing.  So if, for example, one row would have more items than another row, its dropdown was longer - but no data would appear.  Then after adding the SelectedIndex setter property, the data started appearing, but no item was selected.  Hopefully you can gain some insight into this issue from my code snippet.

Also, in the data grid's Initialized event, I am setting the data context with my list of objects:

private void PopulatePDUserList( ObservableCollection<PDUser> PDUserList )
{
	this.dgPDUsers.DataContext = null;
	this.dgPDUsers.DataContext = PDUserList;
}

 and in the data grid loaded event, I am setting the active record

private void SetActiveRecord( int SelectedRow )
{
	if ( this.dgPDUsers.Records.Count > 0 )
	{
		this.dgPDUsers.Records[ SelectedRow ].IsSelected = true;
		this.dgPDUsers.ActiveRecord = this.dgPDUsers.Records[ SelectedRow ];
	}
}
