Dynamically setting the Header text of a Silverlight DataGrid Column

by

You can’t Bind to Header because it’s not a FrameworkElement. You can make the text dynamic by modifying the Header Template like this:

xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"
xmlns:dataprimitives="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"

<data:DataGridTemplateColumn>   
   <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle>
       <Style TargetType="dataprimitives:DataGridColumnHeader">
          <Setter Property="Template">
             <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate>                                        
                  <TextBlock Text="{Binding MeetingName, Source={StaticResource LocStrings}}" />                
               </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
         </Setter>
      </Style>
   </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
