Reordering columns in silverlight datagrid

Question

I'm writing Silverlight application and I have a datagrid in which first two columns' positions are fixed, but others can be reordered. If I simply set CanUserReorder property to true/false respectively, than I can still take 3rd column and put it into 1st position.

What can I do to implement behaviour I need?

For now I can only think of manually handling ColumnReordered/ColumnReordering events in code-behind. Are there any solutions I am missing?

Answer 1

Check out the FrozenColumnCount of the datagrid.

dgMyGrid.FrozenColumnCount = 2

That will prevent the first two columns from being moved. As a "bonus", they won't scroll while others do (though this may not be what you want...)
