I have a Datagrid that is bound with the property ItemsSource="{Binding}" to a DataContext in the codebehind. Thats fine.

Now I would like to add a datagrid inside the RowDetailTemplate. I want to bind this inner Datagrid to a complete other source than the outer Datagrid.

I thought that I just give the inner Datagrid a Name and I have access to this inner Datagrid in the code behind, lide innerDatagrid.DataContext = …. However I have no access to this element.

How can I solve this problem??

Here is some code:

<DataGrid Name="datagrid1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" ...>
<DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
       <StackPanel>
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding "a Property from the datagrid1 ItemSource (this works fine)"}" />
       </StackPanel>
       <StackPanel>
           <Datagrid Name="datagrid2" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
              ...
           </Datagrid>
       </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</Datagrid>

And in the code behind I normally write something like: datagrid1.DataContext = ...DataSet.Tables["tablename"].DefaultView;
With the datagrid1, it works fine. However I have no access to the datagrid2 in the RowDetails. I will bind a complete other source to the datagrid2. I suppose that the datagrid2 is not in the visual tree (?). I have no idea how to solve that problem.

    Post your code here and also you don't need to access element in code behind at all. That will defeat the purpose of binding. – Rohit Vats Aug 03 '14 at 10:33
  • In short: How can I bind a datatable or a List to the second datagrid2 inside the rowdetailtemplate? – Andre Aug 03 '14 at 18:41
