Question

i can’t get this binding working in XAML.

Binding in c# works:

public partial class myControl : UserControl
{
    // get singleton instance
    InfoPool Info = InfoPool.Info;

    public myControl()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // Test Binding
        Binding bind = new Binding();
        bind.Source = this.Info;
        bind.Path = new PropertyPath("Time");
        txtInfoTime.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, bind);
    }
}

Binding in XAML not:

<TextBlock x:Name="txtInfoTime" Text="{Binding Path=Time, Source=Info}" />

Path and Source are the same, so where is my mistake?

Thx Rob

You need to set the DataContext.

You can just add:

DataContext = Info

after

InitializeComponent();

And change XAML to:

<TextBlock x:Name="txtInfoTime" Text="{Binding Time}" />
