Binding to static property
- by Anthony Brien
I'm having a hard time binding a simple static string property to a text box.
Here's the class with the static property:
public class VersionManager
{
private static string filterString;
public static string FilterString
{
get { return filterString; }
set { filterString = value; }
}
}
In my xaml, I just want to bind this static property to a text box:
<TextBox>
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding Source="{x:Static local:VersionManager.FilterString}"/>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>
Everything compiles, but at run time, I get the following exception:
Cannot convert the value in attribute
'Source' to object of type
'System.Windows.Markup.StaticExtension'.
Error at object
'System.Windows.Data.Binding' in
markup file
'BurnDisk;component/selectversionpagefunction.xaml'
Line 57 Position 29.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
