Silverlight Data Binding for Collection in Stack Panel
- by Blake Blackwell
I'm new to Silverlight, so I don't have a complete grasp of all the controls at my disposal. What I would like to do is use databinding and a view model to maintain a collection of items. Here is some mock code for what I'd like to do:
Model
public class MyItem
{
public string DisplayText { get; set; }
public bool Enabled { get; set; }
}
ViewModel
public class MyViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private ObservableCollection<MyItem> _myItems = new ObservableCollection<MyItem>();
public ObservableCollection<MyItem> MyItems
{
get { return _myItems; }
set
{
_myItems = value
NotifyPropertyChanged(this, "MyItems");
}
}
}
View
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<StackPanel ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox "{Binding Enabled, Mode=TwoWay}"></CheckBox>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding DisplayText, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
So my end goal would be that every time I add another MyItem to the MyItems collection it would create a new StackPanel with checkbox and textblock. I don't have to use a stack panel but just thought I'd use that for this sample.
