Question

I had the following very simple code that, of course, worked :

<Image Source="Resources\data_store.png"/>

The thing is that I now have to take the string from the property (“name”) of an object that is given as an ItemSource and I dont manage to get bind to it

I tried these but none work :

<Image Source=name/>
<Image Source=Path="name"/>
<Image Source=Path=name/>
<Image Source={Path="name"}/>
<Image Source={Path=name}/>
<Image Source={Binding name}/>

My object is set in the c# codebehind and I don’t think it changes something…

In the code behind, make sure you define the source as Property:

public string Name{get;set;}

then the binding works as follows:

<Image Source="{Binding Name, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}" />

If you want to dynamically update the image, you will need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged and invoke PropertyChanged when the image is changed
