Here's a fun project that demostrates how to do the binding and the effect of this property.
Start a new C# project in Visual Studio targeting any framework you want. Call it DataItemsBinding.
We will create a grid containing a combo box that lists the SelectedDataItemsScope enumeration and then a grid that lists all my bicycles. At the bottom is a Text Block that shows how many bicycles are selected.

namespace DataItemsBinding
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public IEnumerable<SelectedDataItemsScope> SelectedDataItemScopes
{
get { return
Enum.GetValues(typeof(SelectedDataItemsScope)).Cast<SelectedDataItemsScope>();
}
}
private SelectedDataItemsScope _SelectedSelectedDataItemsScope;
public SelectedDataItemsScope SelectedSelectedDataItemsScope

public string Type { get; set; }

public string Year { get; set; }
}
private List<cBicycle> _Bicycles;
public List<cBicycle> Bicycles
{
get { return
_Bicycles; }
set { SetProperty(ref _Bicycles, value); }
}
private List<cBicycle> _SelectedBicycles = new List<cBicycle>();
public object[]
SelectedBicycles
{
get { return
_SelectedBicycles.ToArray(); }
set { SetProperty(ref _SelectedBicycles, value.ToList().Cast<cBicycle>().ToList());
}
}
public MainWindow()
{
Bicycles = new List<cBicycle>()
{
new cBicycle() {Type="Road", Brand="Serotta", Year="1998"},
new cBicycle() {Type="Exercise", Brand="Schwinn", Year="2016"},
new cBicycle() {Type="Mountain", Brand="Fisher", Year="2002"},
new cBicycle() {Type="Touring", Brand="Trek", Year="2014"},
new cBicycle() {Type="Classic", Brand="Bianchi", Year="1975"}
};
InitializeComponent();
}
public event
PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public bool
SetProperty<T>(ref T storage, T value,
[CallerMemberName] string
propertyName = null)
{
if (Object.Equals(storage, value)) return false;
storage = value;
OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
return true;
}
private void
OnPropertyChanged(String PropertyName = "")
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName));
}
}
}
}
public IEnumerable<SelectedDataItemsScope> SelectedDataItemScopes
{
get { return
Enum.GetValues(typeof(SelectedDataItemsScope)).Cast<SelectedDataItemsScope>();
}
}
The rest of the code is quite mundane - properties, classes, more properties, etc.
Now run the application. The default setting for SelectedDataItemsScope is None which means that the SelectedDataItems is never updated, which is an odd design decision. Change SelectedDataItemsScope to RecordsOnly and then select some bicycles - you will see the count of selected bicycles updated below the grid.
Note that selected rows are only indicated by a slight change to the background color and a faint border. By default, the selection indicator to the left only indicates the last selected row.
The SelectedDataItems property is an array of objects. You have to do some work to get them back into a list of bicycles and more work to convert a list of bicycles back to an array.
private List<cBicycle> _SelectedBicycles = new List<cBicycle>();
public object[]
SelectedBicycles
{
get { return
_SelectedBicycles.ToArray(); }
set { SetProperty(ref _SelectedBicycles, value.ToList().Cast<cBicycle>().ToList());
}
}
Try setting CellClickAction="SelectCell" and then selecting "RecordsOrCells" in the drop down list to see how that option works.
