Dynamically create a Table in XAML
Sometimes when we develop the WPF applications we need create tables with different configurations for output any data. Using the base tools of Visual Studio or Blend do not allow to reach the desired result or not always possible.
Objects can be added programmatically to the form directly in the program code during execution.
Plus this method is in using a minimum set of software. But the construction of a large table it will take too much time. Also we need to implement access to the tables with the data. A further change in the structure will have to rebuild all over again.
Other way to get a beautiful custom table - using FastReport.NET. Read more...
