Silverlight databinding error
- by Petezah
I found an example online that explains how to perform databinding to a ListBox control using LINQ in WPF. The example works fine but when I replicate the same code in Silverlight it doesn't work. Is there a fundamental difference between Silverlight and WPF that I'm not aware of?
Here is an Example of the XAML:
<ListBox x:Name="listBox1">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="18"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Role}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Here is an example of my code behind:
private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string[] names = new string[] { "Captain Avatar", "Derek Wildstar", "Queen Starsha" };
string[] roles = new string[] { "Hero", "Captain", "Queen of Iscandar" };
listBox1.ItemSource = from n in names from r in roles select new { Name = n, Role = r}
}
