I've created a table in Microsoft Sql CE that I'm using to hold some data. I've generated an ORM via SqlMetal and I've pulled the datasource into my WPF project. I want to create a simple WPF form that can be used to edit a record in the table via the ORM-generated classes. I want this form to support typical OK/Cancel semantics. I'v...
I'm new to WPF and data binding so hopefully I can explain the problem I'm having with enough detail to get some help. I have a list of objects that is data bound to a window. Let's say its a list of recipes. I have managed to get the application to display some details of each recipe in a list box, and some more details of the selected...
I've got a potentially rather large list of objects I'd like to bind to a ListBox in WPF. However, I'd like to have the List load itself incrementally. How can I bind a ListBox to an IEnumerable that loads itself on-demand in such a way that the listbox only tries to enumerate as much as it needs for the display? ...

I can't seem to figure out how to get the data binding to work. Here's what I have so far, (the problem is the {Binding Path=FK_History_HistoryItems}...
If I have two objects, one being the list of items, and the other having a property storing the selected item of the other list, is it possible to update the selected item through binding in WPF? Lets say I have these two data structures: public class MyDataList { public ObservableCollection<Guid> Data { get; set; } } public class...
Hi, Does anyone know about a Docking Control like Visual Studio for WPF, where Databinding for the Panes is supported? I tried the DockManager from Infragistics and from Actipro, but they lack this support. For example, the Panes for the content need to be bound through Databinding, so removing the Entity on the other side of the bindin...
I'm trying to do a Data Binding in the C# code behind rather than the XAML. The XAML binding created in Expression Blend 2 to my CLR object works fine. My C# implementation only updates when the application is started after which subsequent changes to the CLR doesn't update my label content. Here's the working XAML binding. First a ...

If I want to display an underlined value in a TextBlock, I have to use a Run element. (If there's a better/easier way, I'd love to hear about it.) <TextBlock> <Run TextDecorations="Underline" Text="MyText" /> </TextBlock> Ideally, to implement this within a DataTemplate, it would look something like this: <DataTemplate x:Key="under...
What is the syntax to concatenate text into a binding expression for an asp.net webpage (aspx). For example if I had a hyperlink that was being bound like this: <asp:HyperLink id="lnkID" NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Link") %>' Target="_blank" Text="View" runat="server"/> How do you change, say, the Text to concaten...
I've seen the designer code, and I have seen code which builds the ObjectDataSource in the code-behind, however both methods communicate directly with the database via either text commands or stored procs. This seems like unnecessary code duplication to me since my data access layer has a method already which returns a datatable with the...
