Hi, I have created an ObservableCollection in the code behind of a user control. It is created when the window loads:
private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Entities db = new Entities();
ObservableCollection<Image> _imageCollection =
new ObservableCollection<Image>();
IEnumerable<library> libraryQuery =
from c in db.ElectricalLibraries
select c;
foreach (ElectricalLibrary c in libraryQuery)
{
Image finalImage = new Image();
finalImage.Width = 80;
BitmapImage logo = new BitmapImage();
logo.BeginInit();
logo.UriSource = new Uri(c.url);
logo.EndInit();
finalImage.Source = logo;
_imageCollection.Add(finalImage);
}
}
I need to get the ObservableCollection of images which are created based on the url saved in a database. But I need a ListView or other ItemsControl to bind to it in XAML file like this:
But I can't figure it out how to pass the ObservableCollection to the ItemsSource of that control. I tried to create a class and then create an instance of a class in xaml file but it did not work. Should I create a static resource somehow>
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
