This whimsical binding. TwoWay Binding to DataContext. Binding in WPF

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:14:31 GMT

I often use Binding to DataContext. It is one of the main advantage of WPF. In most case I set custom class inherit of DependencyObject (for support DependencyProperty) and I have some like next code: <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Id}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Surname}"/> ... </StackPanel> But sometime I set a simple type for example string. For this case I can implement next Binding: <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />

Use dataBinding and DependencyProperty with a non-WPF or extern object

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:13:38 GMT

Sometimes you need to use the databinding with an object that you have not created and you can't use inheritance. For example I wanted to use a Mogre Camera and build some WPF animation with it and I couldn't because : WPF animation needed a DependencyProperty to manipulate, I couldn't derive the Mogre.Camera class and add it the correct things because I got the camera from a factory object (the sceneManager). Then I couldn't use the WPF animation to move my camera... next is how I solve it.

ASP.NET MVC action methods can be developed using regular method parameters.
