I'm using XAML data binding for a ListBox
whose ItemSource
is set to a list of TypeA
object. One UI element in the ItemTemplate
for the ListBox
is bound to a property of TypeA
as follows:
Source="{Binding PropertyName, Converter={StaticResource customConverter}}"
Now, instead of binding to a specific property, I want the UI element to be bound to the whole TypeA
instance so that the custom converter can compute value from multiple properties. The question is: which binding expression I can use to achieve that?
Data binding is a mechanism in XAML applications that provides a simple and easy way for Windows Runtime Apps using partial classes to display and interact with data. The management of data is entirely separated from the way the data is displayed in this mechanism.
Select the first TextBox. Expand "Other data source" ---> "Project data source" --> "AdventureWorksdataset" --> "Employee" --> "EmloyeeId". Select the second TextBox. Expand the DataBinding property then select "Text" ---> "Employee Binding source" then select column(National ID) from the list.
Data binding is a mechanism in WPF applications that provides a simple and easy way for Windows Runtime apps to display and interact with data. In this mechanism, the management of data is entirely separated from the way data. Data binding allows the flow of data between UI elements and data object on user interface.
OneWayToSource: The Source property will change if the target property is changed. If the user changes the TextProperty , the UserName property will take up the changed value. This again is of intermediate cost as the binding system watches only Target for changes.
Youn include no path at all to do that:-
Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource customConverter}}
Have you tried this:
Source="{Binding ., Converter={StaticResource customConverter}}"
