Thanks in advance.

Welcome to StackOverflow! Usually people won't answer questions without the following.
That said, I will give you a demo of what you're asking for.
Here is the XAML
<Window x:Class="datagriddemo.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ViewModel="clr-namespace:datagriddemo"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="420" Background="Gray">
<!--This is where we define the resource that the XAML here is going to
use. As you can see, I am importing our view model-->
<Window.Resources>
<ViewModel:ProductGridViewModel x:Key="ProductViewModel"/>
</Window.Resources>
<!--This is the main layout of the XAML. In the Grid below,
I set the "DataContext" to our static resource we just defined above.
What this does is tell everyone inside this grid, "If you don't define
your own data context, you're going to use mine" Because of this, all
of the elements inside this grid will have access to the public properties
of the ViewModel-->
<Grid DataContext="{StaticResource ResourceKey=ProductViewModel}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="300"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="100"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- This is the datagrid that we are displaying. The two important things
to note here are "ItemsSource" and "SelectedItem". "ItemsSource" is the collection
that we want to display in our grid. This is where are product models are stored.
SelectedProduct is going to be where the selected grid row is stored so we can
access its data with the text boxes defined below. -->
<DataGrid
Width="500"
Grid.Column="0"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
ItemsSource="{Binding Products}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedProduct, Mode=TwoWay}">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly="True" Header="Product ID" Binding="{Binding ProductID, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly="True" Header="Product Name" Binding="{Binding ProductName, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly="True" Header="Total Sold" Binding="{Binding TotalSold, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
<!-- This stack panel contains the text boxes we are going to use to edit our data. Notice that the
bindings point to SelectedProduct.Property. This is because we are accessing properties inside of
the SelectedProduct property in our ViewModel. When we edit these text boxes the data in the grid
will automatically change. -->
<StackPanel Height="100" Background="Wheat" Margin="10" Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Width="100" TextWrapping="Wrap">Update your product info!</TextBlock>
<TextBox Width="100" Text="{Binding SelectedProduct.ProductName, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<TextBox Width="100" Text="{Binding SelectedProduct.TotalSold, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Window>
Next is our ViewModel. If the view is the frosting on the cake then you can think of the view model as the cake around the pudding. Your view model is where your logic lives. It will do sorting, crunching and other stuff.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace datagriddemo
{
public class ProductGridViewModel
{
private ProductModel _SelectedProduct;
private ObservableCollection<ProductModel> _Products;
/// <summary>
/// Notice that though this updates the grid as you
/// add or remove elements, it doesn't call onproperty
/// changed in the setter... Magic? Nope, Observable
/// collections call OnPropertyChanged for you.
///
/// Caveat: They will NOT call on property changed
/// for you if you do Products = new ObservableCollection...
/// Only when you do Products.Add(yourProduct)...
/// </summary>
public ObservableCollection<ProductModel> Products
{
get { return _Products; }
set { _Products = value; }
}
/// <summary>
/// This is the selected row in the grid. It automatically changes
/// when you select new rows because we set the grid SelectedItem property
/// to Mode=TwoWay
/// </summary>
public ProductModel SelectedProduct
{
get { return _SelectedProduct; }
set { _SelectedProduct = value; }
}
/// <summary>
/// View Models constructor. It get's called automatically when the view
/// is initialized because we declared it as a static resource in the XAML.
/// </summary>
public ProductGridViewModel()
{
//DONT FORGET TO NEW UP YOUR OBSERVABLE COLLECTIONS!!
Products = new ObservableCollection<ProductModel>();
//Don't forget to generate the data!
GenerateProducts();
}
/// <summary>
/// Use this method to generate dummy data
/// </summary>
private void GenerateProducts()
{
for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
{
this.Products.Add(new ProductModel(x,"Product #"+x,x+50));
}
}
}
}
Finally there is your Model. This is your actual data. This, yes this, is your pudding.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace datagriddemo
{
public class ProductModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private Int32 _ProductID;
private String _ProductName;
private Int32 _TotalSold;
/// <summary>
/// Note for the properties below:
/// Notice that first, the property names match those bound in the XAML
/// This is all part of the grand scheme.
///
/// When the OnProperty changed is called, the UI knows to go search for
/// those properties. It's important that these all have the correct spelling
/// and casing.
/// </summary>
public Int32 TotalSold
{
get { return _TotalSold; }
set
{
_TotalSold = value;
OnPropertyChanged("TotalSold");
}
}
public String ProductName
{
get { return _ProductName; }
set
{
_ProductName = value;
OnPropertyChanged("ProductName");
}
}
public Int32 ProductID
{
get { return _ProductID; }
set
{
_ProductID = value;
OnPropertyChanged("ProductID");
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Just a normal constructor to load up our properties.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="productID"></param>
/// <param name="productName"></param>
/// <param name="totalSold"></param>
public ProductModel(Int32 productID, String productName, Int32 totalSold)
{
this.ProductID = productID;
this.ProductName = productName;
this.TotalSold = totalSold;
}
/// <summary>
/// This is for updating the UI
/// </summary>
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
/// <summary>
/// When a property changes in this object, if you want it reflected on the
/// UI you need to call this function
/// </summary>
/// <param name="propertyName"></param>
public void OnPropertyChanged(String propertyName)
{
PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
}
Finally here is the expected result
In this first image we see our grid loaded up with its new data
If you click on a row you will see it's data populate the two text boxes on the side.
Finally if you change the data in the text boxes you will see it update in the grid immediately.
And that's it! A complete MVVM datagrid to text box and back solution. Hope this helps. Please remember what I said about what is expected from you as a question asker and have fun! Welcome to WPF and MVVM.
