Windows Phone app: Binding data in a UserControl which is contained in a ListBox
- by Alexandros Dafkos
I have an "AddressListBox" ListBox that contains "AddressDetails" UserControl items, as shown in the .xaml file extract below. The Addresses collection is defined as
ObservableCollection< Address Addresses
and Street, Number, PostCode, City are properties of the Address class. The binding fails, when I use the "{Binding property}" syntax shown below. The binding succeeds, when I use the "dummy" strings in the commented-out code. I have also tried "{Binding Path=property}" syntax without success. Can you suggest what syntax I should use for binding the data in the user controls?
<ListBox x:Name="AddressListBox"
DataContext="{StaticResource dataSettings}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Addresses, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--
<usercontrols:AddressDetails AddressRoad="dummy" AddressNumber="dummy2" AddressPostCode="dummy3" AddressCity="dummy4">
</usercontrols:AddressDetails>
-->
<usercontrols:AddressDetails AddressRoad="{Binding Street}" AddressNumber="{Binding Number}" AddressPostCode="{Binding PostCode}" AddressCity="{Binding City}">
</usercontrols:AddressDetails>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
