Question

Hi I have a little problem.

I’m using data binding to retrieve data from an internet source..
All goes wel and the data is perfectly presented in a textblock that resides within an data template.

So far so good..

I’m trieng to use the if statement on that textblock

like:

    if (textblock.Text == ("good")

    {Do some stuff here}

I’ve added an Loaded event handler to the textblock and now I’m able to do:

    private void loadedevent_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var textBlock = sender as TextBlock;
        if (1 == 1)
        {
            textBlock2.Text = textBlock.Text;
        }
    }

I did that just to see if the text gets copied over to textBlock2. (So I know that works)

and here comes the problem:

When I say:

    private void loadedevent_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var textBlock = sender as TextBlock;
        if (textBlock.Text == "good")
        {
            do some stuff here
        }
    }

It just wont trigger and I’m 1000% sure that the text inside the textblok == “good”

Please help been.. fighting with this for over 2 days…

Answer 1

Try using textblock.Text.Trim().Equals(“good”)

Also as someone else has said, Loaded is probably called before the data gets loaded. Try using the Shown event or the Textbox change event.
