Binding IEnumerable<anonymous object> to DataGrid in WPF - wpfdatagrid

Question

I need merely a readonly display of Linq data; no requirement to observe changes. Here's the Linq:
string ZIPCODEFIELDNAME="zip5";
DataTable DATA = (detailedQueryResult as DataTable);
IEnumerable<object> ZIPCODE_SUMMARY;
ZIPCODE_SUMMARY = from z in DATA.AsEnumerable()
group z by z.Field<string>(ZIPCODEFIELDNAME) into g
let list = g.ToList()
select new
{
zip = g.Key,
eecount = list.Count(),
// possible additional aggregate columns here
};
I am able to bind this IEnumerable<anonymous object> to a Telerik RadGridView in code-behind simply by doing this:
myRadGridView.ItemsSource = ZIPCODE_SUMMARY.ToList();
that is, without having to declare a binding in XAML or having to define any columns. How would that be accomplished using the WPF DataGrid that ships with Visual Studio? It displays only row separators when I use the identical approach. So it knows about the items in the list, just not how to fetch the columns.
I am trying to write some quick-and-dirty utilities to import a gazillion CSV files where no two of them have the same structure or same field names, and the fewer lines of setup code the better.
P.S. I am just getting into WPF and Linq, so please set ReplyToNovice=true :-)

Did you remember to set AutoGenerateColumns=true on the datagrid? If yes, try binding to an ICollectionView instead.
UPDATE:
Thats weird, the code below works fine for me. One thing though, you may have to set the datacontext of the datagrid to {Binding}, this will bind to the whole object.
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
dgZips.ItemsSource = GetFakeZips();
}
public dynamic GetFakeZips()
{
return Enumerable.Range(1500, 10).Select(i => new { Zip = i, Count = i / 4 });
}
Xaml:
<DataGrid x:Name="dgZips" AutoGenerateColumns="True" />
