Confusion about WPF binding...
- by Vladislav
I am trying to bind a 2D array of buttons arranged in stackpanels to a 2D ObservableCollection...
Yet, I'm afraid I don't understand something very elementary about binding.
My XAML:
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemsAsButtons">
<Button Content="{Binding}" Height="100" Width="100"/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="PanelOfPanels">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DayNumbers}" ItemTemplate=" {DynamicResource ItemsAsButtons}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
...
<ItemsControl x:Name="DaysPanel" Grid.ColumnSpan="7" Grid.Row="2"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource PanelOfPanels}"/>
My C# code:
The backend:
/// <summary>
/// Window BE for Calendar.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class Calendar : Window
{
private CalendarViewModel _vm;
public Calendar()
{
InitializeComponent();
_vm = new CalendarViewModel();
this.DataContext = _vm;
}
}
The ViewModel:
class CalendarViewModel
{
CalendarMonth _displayedMonth;
EventCalendar _calendar;
public CalendarViewModel()
{
_displayedMonth = new CalendarMonth();
}
public ObservableCollection<ObservableCollection<int>> DayNumbers
{
get
{
return _displayedMonth.DayNumbers;
}
}
}
I'm trying to populate the buttons with values from CalendarViewModel.DayNumbers - yet the buttons do not appear. I'm clearly doing something wrong with my binding.
