由DataGridTextColumn不能获取到父级DataContext引发的思考

　　在项目中使用DataGrid需要根据业务动态隐藏某些列，思路都是给DataGrid中列的Visibility属性绑定值来实现（项目使用MVVM），如下

<DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type DataGrid}},Path=DataContext.IsVisible,Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"></DataGridTextColumn>

如果不是在DataGridTextColumn上绑定，那么这段代码是可以工作的，问题出在DataGridTextColumn上，我们来看它的继承层次

它不是FrameworkElement的派生类，所以它不具有DataContext属性，也就是说，即使DataGrid有DataContext，DataGridTextColumn也不能得到它，Visibility找不到DataContext自然绑定不上，这就是为什么上面的绑定失效的原因，同样其他类型的列也有同样的问题。那么如何优雅地解决问题呢？国际友人给出了这样一个方法，既然DataGridTextColumn不能从父级那里得到DataContext，那么直接给她的Visibility指定一个DataContext，实现如下

• 首先创建一个可以承载DataContext的绑定代理类BindingProxy
• 然后将这个BindingProxy当作资源，获得DataContext
• 将DataGridTextColumn的Visibility的DataContext指定为这个BindingProxy

BindingProxy.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;

namespace WPF_DataContext_Sample
{
    public class BindingProxy:Freezable
    {
        protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
        {
            return new BindingProxy();

        }

        public object DataContext
        {
            get
            {
                return (object)GetValue(DataContextProperty);
            }
            set
            {
                SetValue(DataContextProperty, value);
            }
        }

        // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for DataContext.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
        public static readonly DependencyProperty DataContextProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("DataContext", typeof(object), typeof(BindingProxy), new PropertyMetadata(null));
    }
}

MainWindow.xaml

<Window x:Class="WPF_DataContext_Sample.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:wpfDataContextSample="clr-namespace:WPF_DataContext_Sample"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.Resources>
        <wpfDataContextSample:Converter x:Key="Converter"></wpfDataContextSample:Converter>

        <wpfDataContextSample:BindingProxy x:Key="BindingProxy" DataContext="{Binding}"></wpfDataContextSample:BindingProxy>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition Height="0.1*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Students}">
            <DataGrid.Columns>

                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Id" Binding="{Binding Id}"></DataGridTextColumn>

                <!--这样的绑定会失败-->
                <!--<DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type DataGrid}},Path=DataContext.IsShow,Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"></DataGridTextColumn>-->

                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}" Visibility="{Binding DataContext.IsShow,Source={StaticResource BindingProxy},Converter={StaticResource Converter}}"></DataGridTextColumn>

                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Sex" Binding="{Binding Sex}"></DataGridTextColumn>

            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>

        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1">
            <Button Width="100" Height="30" Content="隐藏Name" Click="ButtonBase_OnClick"></Button>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>

这样就能优雅地解决了这个问题
