c# - How can I populate DataGrid control with strings? -

i trying show list of strings in datagrid, haven't been able make work correctly. xaml is:

   <datagrid x:name="listgrid" itemssource = "{binding}" autogeneratecolumns="true">         <datagrid.columns>             <datagridtextcolumn header="title" binding="{binding tracktitle}"></datagridtextcolumn>         </datagrid.columns>    </datagrid> 

the welcome.xaml.cs looks this, tracktitle list

public welcome() {     initializecomponent();     listgrid.datacontext = mainwindow.tracktitle; } 

when preview it, can see correct number of rows no data title column. there column generated length , shows correct length each string. doing wrong? binding parameter title column {binding tracktitle} not right?

look @ example:

view

<window x:class="example.mainwindow"         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"         title="mainwindow" height="350" width="525">     <stackpanel>         <datagrid itemssource="{binding entries}"/>     </stackpanel> </window> 

view code-behind

namespace example {     using system.windows;      public partial class mainwindow : window     {         public mainwindow()         {             datacontext = new mainwindowviewmodel();             initializecomponent();         }     } } 

viewmodel

namespace example {     using system.collections.objectmodel;     using system.windows.controls;      class mainwindowviewmodel     {         public observablecollection<string> entries { get; set; }          public mainwindowviewmodel()         {             list<string> list = new list<string>() { "entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3" };             entries = new observablecollection<string>(list);         }     } } 

shows example of how bind collection property in viewmodel. try applying situation.

good luck!
