ComboBox in WPF DataGrid's Column Header

Here, In this article, we are going to discuss, how can we add framework elements in WPF Datagrid's column header. We will add combo box in  the header. To add Combobox in the Header of DataGrid we use [GridColumn].Header tag. In the tag we can add any element directly.

<tools:DataGridTextColumn.Header>

     <ComboBox x:Name='txtCbo75P' ItemsSource='{StaticResource StringArrayResource}' SelectedIndex='0'></ComboBox>

</tools:DataGridTextColumn.Header>

Create Nested headers in WPF DataGrid

In our case FirstName and LastName will be under Name, and Address1, Address2, City and State Columns will be under the Address.
