How to pass an extra property to a usercontrol which is inside DataTemplate, in Silverlight

Question

I have an Itemscontrol in my xaml, and I am calling a user control in the DateTemplate of ItemsControl like following

    <ScrollViewer Margin="0,0,0,0" BorderThickness="0">
        <ItemsControl x:Name="itemsStackPanel">
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <controls:UserItem Margin="0, 5, 0, 3"></controls:UserItem>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        </ItemsControl>
    </ScrollViewer>

I already assign a list to ItemsControl.

    this.itemsStackPanel.ItemsSource = usersList;

and now I want to pass something extra property to my user control, which is inside DataTemplate, something like following, how do I do that?

    <controls:UserItem Margin="0, 5, 0, 3" CurrentColumnInfo={Binding oColumnInfo}></controls:UserItem>

the oColumnInfo object is kept in the codebehind. how do I pass that to each user item?

Answer 1

oColumnInfo should be part of your userList, if you want to bind using {Binding Path=oColumnInfo}
