WPF window inserting an array into DataGrid

Question

WPF window in C# doesn't have option of Inserting something into DataGrid immediately, like as WinForms Form

DataGridView.Rows.Add(whatever)

What is alternative for this code 👆?
So how can I insert an array into DataGridView in WPF window?

Create an List. For eg: List<Datatype> mylist = new List<Datatype> Add some data to your List: mylist.Add(blah) Bind this to your datagrid in C#: datagrid.ItemsSource = mylist — Ketan Dubey

You can actually add objects directly to the Items property of the DataGrid:

dataGrid.Items.Add(whatever);

But if you want to be able to edit the items, you should set or bind the ItemsSource property to an IList:

dataGrid.ItemsSource = new List<object> { whatever };

You need to bind the DataGrid to an ObservableCollection. If you insert into the ObservableCollection, it'll appear on the UI
