our software uses datagrid throughout user interface displaying editable lists. while editing metadata, wanted remove text in particular column many rows. pretty quick if beat of f2-backspace-enter, f2-backspace-enter, f2-backspace-enter….

things don’t go quite if miss f2 part of pattern , press backspace-enter on cell. wpf datagrid replace contents of cell backspace character. depending on how @ string, might show 0×08, , \u0008, or \b.

what on earth?

this codeplex post confirms bug in datagrid , includes workarounds. on our end, current prepare ignore strings have backspace character in them. way don’t end in xml, because in xml 1.0 backspace illegal character.

see microsoft connect issue.
