I am stuck on how to pass data from one control to another. If I have a listbox control and the Contol Item contains a datatemplate which renders out 5 fields ( first name, last name, email, phone and DOB) all of which come from an observable collection. How can I allow the user to select a listbox item and have the valuesbe stored within a new listbox control?
Is this done through the creation of a new collection or is there a more simple way to bind these values to a new control?
thank you,
If it is not too late, I would strongly recommend that you use the MVVM pattern. The problem you are facing is typical for WPF without a decent presentation model and wont be the last one.
Using MVVM you would pass data between controls/views through the ViewModel. In your example you would have a PersonViewModel with an ObservableCollection containing first name, last name, email and DOB. Additionally it would have a property SelectedItem. This property can be bound to in a lot of different controls/views without them having to know each other.
