Is it possible to bind an Event in a Silverlight DataTemplate? If so, what is the best way to do it?
For example, say you've created a DataTemplate that has a Button in it, like this:
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="MyDataTemplate" >
<Grid>
<Button Content="{Binding ButtonText}" Margin="4" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
Then, you apply it to a ListBox ItemTemplate, like this:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<ListBox x:Name="lbListBox" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyDataTemplate}" />
</Grid>
If you set the ListBox's ItemSource to a list of objects of the class:
public class MyDataClass
{
public string ButtonText{ get; set; }
}
How then do you catch the button click from each button from the DataTemplate in the list? Can you use binding to bind the Click event to a method in "MyButtonClass", like this:
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="MyDataTemplate" >
<Grid>
<Button Click="{Binding OnItemButtonClick}" Content="{Binding ButtonText}" Margin="4" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
Would this work? If so, what should I put in the "MyDataClass" to catch the event?
