Replace the DataGrid

[fredericoregateiro]

Hi all,
Is the TreeDataGrid control intended to replace the DataGrid?

Can we define the columns in xaml like the Datagrid or we need to define the FlatTreeDataGridSource in the view model?

I'm migrating a WPF app to Avalonia and I have one project for the avalonia UI other for the WPF and a project that contains all the logic (view models, services, ...) and there is no WPF or Avalonia, so i cannot create a FlatTreeDataGridSource property. So do i need to override the OnLoaded or similar to create the source for the TreeDataGrid on the code behind?

Thanks

DataGrid is de-facto not supported control. It can get some fixed from the community, but we don't intend supporting it.

At the moment, only TreeDataGridSource in the code-behind or viewmodel.

You can continue using DataGrid for a white, ensuring easier/faster migration from WPF. And migrate to TreeDataGrid at some point later.

You can keep observable source in your view model, and when data context is re-created, update the source. Or create framework-specific view models, which is likely less desired.
