Adding and Removing Groups Sample

This sample shows how to group XML data based on an attribute value using PropertyGroupDescription. You can use a similar technique to apply grouping to non-XML data based on a property value.

Alternatively, you can create groups in XAML. For more information, see How to: Sort and Group Data Using a View in XAML.

This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices.
