I have a Label defined in XAML as follows:
<Label Content="{Binding Name}"></Label>
The problem is that the label is invisible in the XAML editor and I'd like it to have a default value there so that the editor accurately reflects what will show up at runtime.
Is there a way to give it a value in XAML which will show up in the editor, but then use the binding at runtime?
Specifying the path to the valueIf your binding source is an object, you use the Binding. Path property to specify the value to use for your binding. If you're binding to XML data, you use the Binding. XPath property to specify the value.
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.
Creating a WPF LabelThe Width and Height attributes of the Label element represent the width and the height of a Label. The Content property of the Label element sets the text of a Label. The Name attribute represents the name of the control, which is a unique identifier of a control.
One-Way Data Binding The following XAML code creates four text blocks with some properties. Text properties of two text blocks are set to “Name” and “Title” statically, while the other two text blocks Text properties are bound to “Name” and “Title” which are class variables of Employee class which is shown below.
here you go
FallbackValue
is the answer for the same
example
<Label Content="{Binding Name, FallbackValue=Default}"></Label>
you also assign the default value to name of its viewmode.cs file in its constructor
