As Promised here is my advanced databinding presentation from South Florida Code camp and also Orlando Code camp. you can find the demo files here.
Here is a quick description of the first demos, there will be 2 other Blogposting in the next few days getting into more advance databinding topics.
-
Example00
-
Here we have 3 textboxes,
-
The first textbox mySourceElement
-
Second textbox has a binding to mySourceElement and Path= Text
<Binding ElementName="mySourceElement" Path="Text" />
- Third textbox is also bound to the Text property but we use inline Binding
Here is the entire XAML
<Grid > <Grid.RowDefinitions > </Grid.RowDefinitions> <TextBox Name="mySourceElement" Grid.Row="0" TextChanged="mySourceElement_TextChanged">Hello Orlnado <TextBlock.Text> <Binding ElementName="mySourceElement" Path="Text" /> </TextBlock.Text>
-
Example01
-
we have a slider control, then we have two textboxes bound to the value property of the slider. one has its text property bound, the second has its fontsize property bound.
-
Example02
-
very much like the previous example but it also has a font dropdown
-
Example03
-
In this example we bind to an object Employee.cs
-
Notice we added a directive to our xaml which is clr-namespace and the namespace for our employee Class
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Example03"
- In Our windows Resources we create an instance of our object
<Window.Resources> <local:Employee x:Key="MyEmployee" EmployeeNumber="145" FirstName="John" LastName="Doe" Department="Product Development" Title="QA Manager" />
</Window.Resources>
- then we bind our container to the that instance of the data
- and Finally we have textboxes that will bind to that textbox Employee Number First Name Last Name Title Department
