'Declaration
Protected MustOverride Function GenerateElement ( _
cell As DataGridCell, _
dataItem As Object _
) As FrameworkElement
protected abstract FrameworkElement GenerateElement(
DataGridCell cell,
Object dataItem
)
Parameters
- cell

The data item represented by the row that contains the intended cell.
Return Value
Type: System.Windows.FrameworkElement

Remarks
This method is called internally when the DataGrid populates the contents of a cell in the column when the cell is not in editing mode. When overridden in a derived class, this method creates and configures a read-only element, and binds the appropriate dependency property to the column's Binding property value.
