Silverlight 3 - Data Binding Position of a rectangle on a canvas
- by Blounty
Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to bind a collection of objects to a Canvas in Silverlight 3 using an ItemsControl as below:
<ItemsControl x:Name="ctrl" ItemsSource="{Binding myObjectsCollection}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas></Canvas>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Rectangle Stroke="LightGray" Fill="Black" StrokeThickness="2"
RadiusX="15" RadiusY="15" Canvas.Left="{Binding XAxis}"
Height="25" Width="25">
</Rectangle>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Unfortunately it seems the binding on the Canvas.Left is being ignored. From what i have learned here it would appear this is due to the items being placed inside a content presenter not the actual canvas i have specified in the items panel.
Is there a way i can use data binding to determine the position of elements on a canvas?
