[UWP][C#] Datagrid with button column

Question

Hi,

I need to add a button column to my grid using C# - not XAML. I am able to add a checkbox and a combobox by creating an instance of DataGridCheckBoxColumn and DataGridComboBoxColumn.

What do I use for a button column? I'm guessing DataGridTemplateColumn, but I cannot find any useful examples about how to create it in code behind instead of xaml.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

If you want to customize columns, you can use DataGridTemplateColumn. The DataGridTemplateColumn type enables you to create your own column types by specifying the cell templates used to display values. If you want to achieve it in code-behind, you need to create a dataTemplate contain button and apply it in the CellTemplate of DataGridTemplateColumn.
