How do you escape parentheses in a Binding indexer
- by Chris S
I have the following XAML:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyDataKey}}">
<TextBox Name="_myId" Text="{Binding MyDictionary[(Textbox.Name)]" />
</Grid>
But it thinks the key in my dictionary is called "(Textbox.Name)", instead of "_myId". The format below works, where I have a property in my class called "_myId":
<TextBox Name="_myId" Text="{Binding (Textbox.Name)" />
I've tried using ^ and \ to escape the brackets. Is this syntax supported? I'm trying to avoid duplication of the name in two attributes.
