How to bind DataTable collection to MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
The .NET MAUI DataGrid(SfDataGrid) allows binding DataTable as ItemsSource. DataGrid automatically refreshes the UI when binding DataTable as ItemsSource when rows are added, deleted or cleared.
C#
Populate items to the DataTable.
public class ViewModel
{
public DataTable EmployeeCollection { get; set; }
public ViewModel()
{
this.CreateDataTable();
}
private void CreateDataTable ()
{
EmployeeCollection = new DataTable();
EmployeeCollection.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(string));
EmployeeCollection.Columns.Add("Company", typeof(string));
EmployeeCollection.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
EmployeeCollection.Columns.Add("City", typeof(string));
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("ALFKI", "Alferds Futterkiste", "Maria Anders", "Berlin");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("ANATR", "Ana Trujilo Emparedados y Hela", "Ana Trujilo", "Mexico D.F.");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("ANTON", "Antonio Moreno Taqueria", "Antonio Moreno", "Mexico D.F.");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("AROUT", "Around the Horn", "Thomas Hardy", "London");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BERGS", "Berglunds Snabbkop", "Christina Berglund", "Lulea");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BLAUS", "Blauer see Delikatessen", "Hanna Moss", "Mannheim");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BLONP", "Blondel Pere et Fils", "Erederique Citeaux", "Strasbourg");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BOLID", "Bolids Comidas Preparadas", "Martin Sommer", "Madrid");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BONP", "Bon App", "Laurence Lebihan", "Marseille");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BOTTM", "Bottom-Dollar Markets", "Elizabeth Lincoln", "Tsawassen");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("BSBEV", "B's Beverages", "Victoria Ashworth", "London");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("CACTU", "Cactus Comidas para llevar", "Patricio Simpson", "Bueno Aires");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("CENTC", "Centro Comercial Moctezuma", "Francisco Chang", "Mexico D.F.");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("CHOPS", "Chop-Suey Chinese", "Yang Wang", "Bern");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("COMMI", "Comercio Minerio", "Pedro Afonso", "Sao Paulo");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("CONSH", "Consolidated Holdings", "Elizabeth Brown", "London");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("DRACD", "Drachenblut Entier", "Sven Ottlieb", "Aachen");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("DUMON", "Dumonde Entier", "Janine Labrune", "Nantes");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("EASTC", "Eastern Connection", "Ann Devon", "London");
EmployeeCollection.Rows.Add("ERNSH", "Ernst Handel", "Roland Mendel", "Graz");
