WPF UserControl weird binding problem
- by Heko
Hello!
Im usign a Ribbon Window and in the "content area beneath" I have a grid in which I will be displaying UserControls. To demonstrate my problem lets take a look at this simple UserControl:
<ListView x:Name="lvPersonList">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Width="120" Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
<GridViewColumn Width="120" Header="Height" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Height}"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
And the code:
public partial class MyUserControl: UserControl
{
private List<Person> personList;
public TestSnpList()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.personList = new List<Person>();
this.personList.Add(new Person { Name = "Chuck Norris", Height = 210 });
this.personList.Add(new Person { Name = "John Rambo", Height = 200 });
this.lvPersonList.ItemsSource = personList;
}
}
public class Person
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Height { get; set; }
}
The parent Window:
<Grid x:Name="grdContent" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<controls:MyUserControl x:Name="myUserControl" Visibility="Visible"/>
</Grid>
I don't understant why this binding doesn't work. Instead of values (Name and Height) I get full class names. If I use this code in a Window it works fine.
Any ideas? I would like this user contorl works for itself (it gets the data form the DB and represents it in a ListView)...
Thanks!
