Show Supported Templates

The grid provides a set of template properties that you can use to specify the representation of its visual elements:

Visual Element	Property	Binding Context
Data Cell	TemplateColumn.DisplayTemplate TemplateColumn.EditTemplate	CellData
Column Header	GridColumn.HeaderContentTemplate DataGridView.ColumnHeaderContentTemplate	GridColumn
Group Row	DataGridView.GroupRowTemplate	GroupRowData
Group Row Caption	GridColumn.GroupCaptionTemplate DataGridView.GroupCaptionTemplate	GroupRowData
Group Summary	DataGridView.GroupSummaryTemplate	GroupRowData
Total Summary	GridColumn.TotalSummaryTemplate DataGridView.TotalSummaryTemplate	TotalSummaryData
Swipe Item	SwipeItem.Template DataGridView.SwipeItemTemplate	SwipeItemData

This example shows how to define templates for grid column headers. To do this, assign a DataTemplate object to a column’s HeaderContentTemplate property.

XAML

<dxg:DataGridView x:Name = "grid" ItemsSource ="{Binding Employees}">
    <dxg:DataGridView.Columns>
        <dxg:ImageColumn FieldName="Photo">
            <dxg:ImageColumn.HeaderContentTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>

                        <Image Source="photo.png" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
                        <Label Text="{Binding FieldName}" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
                    </StackLayout>
