xaml Translate column names in Datagrid

Question

I use a DataGrid which is bound to an ObservableCollection<T> like this:

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}" />   

The column names in the grid are the same as the names of the properties in my class Items. How can I change these names, e.g. based on current culture?

My Item class has the properties:

public object ThisIsProperty1{get;set;}
public object Property2{get;set;}

My column names in the grid get the name "ThisIsProperty1" and "Property2", but I want to set customized names like "P1" and "Prop 2".

Thanks in advance!

If you only want to override some Headers, try the following:

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Desired Header" Binding="{Binding SomePropToOverride}"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Another Header" Binding="{Binding SomeOtherPropToOverride}"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

If you only want specific columns to show you can add AutoGenerateColumns="false" to the DataGrid
