How do I say .ToString() in XAML?
Question
The following code gives me the error (cannot add type Object to Stackpanel).
How can I say .ToString() in XAML?
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox x:Name="theCustomers"/>
</Grid>
binding in code-behind with ADO.NET Entity Framework:
MainEntities db = new MainEntities();
var customers = from c in db.CustomersSet
select c;
theCustomers.ItemsSource = customers;
Solution
You need to set the property ContentTemplate
, not Content
.
Try:
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" >
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LastName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
