Question

I can get data into my TabControl but the headers have frames around them and I can’t slick from tab to tab.

What am I doing wrong with the XAML binding syntax on this TabControl?

XAML:

<StackPanel>     <TabControl x:Name='TheTabControl'>         <TabControl.ItemTemplate>             <DataTemplate>                 <TabItem Header='{Binding LastName}'>                     <StackPanel Margin='10' Orientation='Horizontal'>                         <TextBlock Text='{Binding FirstName}'/>                         <TextBlock Text=' '/>                         <TextBlock Text='{Binding LastName}'/>                     </StackPanel>                 </TabItem>             </DataTemplate>                         </TabControl.ItemTemplate>     </TabControl>      <TabControl>         <TabItem Header='Tab1'>             <TextBlock Text='This is a test of tab 1'/>         </TabItem>         <TabItem Header='Tab2'>             <TextBlock Text='This is a test of tab 2'/>         </TabItem>     </TabControl>  </StackPanel>   

code behind:

public partial class Window1 : Window {     public Window1()     {         InitializeComponent();          //create all         List<Customer> customers = new List<Customer>();         customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'Jim', LastName = 'Smith', NumberOfContracts = 23 });         customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'Jane', LastName = 'Smith', NumberOfContracts = 23 });         customers.Add(new Customer { FirstName = 'John', LastName = 'Tester', NumberOfContracts = 23 });          //show         TheListBox.ItemsSource = customers;      } }  public class Customer {     public string FirstName { get; set; }     public string LastName { get; set; }     public int NumberOfContracts { get; set; } }

just bind your List to your TabControl as ItemsSource, e.g.

<TabControl ItemsSource='{Binding Customers}'/> 

this will give you a tab for each object in customer.
