I have 3 columns which are filled using binding in xaml from the database and then I have some columns which are dynamic in the ListView. The columns which are dynamic have the headers filled from code behind such as :

viewLayout.Columns.Add(
    new GridViewColumn {       
        Header = subjectvalues_forstdatt[i],
        DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding(String.Format("[{0}]", i))    
    }
);

I want a CheckBox in this dynamic column, not the content being showed by displaymemberbinding.

• wpf
• data-binding
• user-controls
• wpf-controls

Haven't tested it but something like this should work:

  DataTemplate template = new DataTemplate { DataType = typeof(object) };  // <-- insert your concrete objet type here

  FrameworkElementFactory stackPanelFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(StackPanel));
  stackPanelFactory.SetValue(StackPanel.OrientationProperty, Orientation.Vertical);

  FrameworkElementFactory checkbox = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(CheckBox));
  checkbox.SetBinding(CheckBox.IsCheckedProperty, new Binding(String.Format("[{0}]", subjectvalues_forstdatt[i]));
  stackPanelFactory.AppendChild(checkbox);


  viewLayout.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn
  {

    Header = subjectvalues_forstdatt[i],
    CellTemplate = template

or I'd prefer writing the DataTemplate in XAML and access it via Key in CodeBehind..

CellTemplate = TryFindResource("myDataTemplateKey") as DataTemplate
