I try bind Text
property of TextBlock
to my property but text does not update.
XAML
<Window x:Name="window" x:Class="Press.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Press analyzer" Height="350" Width="525" ContentRendered="Window_ContentRendered"
d:DataContext="{d:DesignData MainWindow}">
...
<StatusBar Name="StatusBar" Grid.Row="2" >
<TextBlock Name="StatusBarLabel" Text="{Binding Message}"/>
</StatusBar>
</Window>
C#
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _message;
public string Message
{
private set
{
_message = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Message");
}
get
{
return _message;
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
[NotifyPropertyChangedInvocator]
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null) handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Set DataContext
of MainWindow to itself in constructor of MainWindow to resolve binding:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
}
OR
If you don't set DataContext, you have to resolve binding explicitly from XAML using RelativeSource
:
<TextBlock Name="StatusBarLabel"
Text="{Binding Message, RelativeSource={RelativeSource
Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"/>
Note - You can always go and check output window of Visual Studio for any binding errors.
