No problem jelentz, check out the link I've provided below. While you are looking to dynamically set the dataProvider of a DataGrid the content of the article discusses a ComboBox. The takeaway from the article is how to create your own custom DataGrid class (by extending DataGrid) and then writing the appropriate code to manipulate the dataProvider. The article does a good job explain this.
