WPF - Bind a List<T> as the contents of a WrapPanel

Is is possible to make the contents(children) of a WrapPanel to be bound to a dependency property?

How to change WPF Listbox/ListBoxItem DataTemplate for selected item WITHOUT affecting style & theming?

This question is very similar to Change WPF DataTemplate..., which I have read and implemented. It worked beautifully at first, but I ran into a problem with it.

How do you avoid duplicate items when a databound control gets bound twice?

How do you avoid duplicate bound items in this scenario: There's a databound control on a page (a DropDownList in this case, though I don't think it matters). It has AppendDataBoundItems set to "true". Somewhere in the code, a DataSource is set and DataBind is called. So this control is bound explicitly. You have a bunch of other th...

Do I always have to write a converter for date-formatting?

I often use textboxes in my wpf-projects which are bound to datetime-propertys. I want to format the dates into the german format dd.MM.yyyy.

ASP.NET ListView with identical markup in EditItemTemplate and InsertItemTemplate

I've got a problem with my little app here that is conceptually very simple. I have an XML file that essentially just maps strings to strings.
