Question

I need something like this:

<WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Person.Name}" Style="style1"/>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Project.Name}" Style="style2" />
    foreach item in {Binding Path=Tags}
    {
        <TextBlock Text={Binding item.Name} Style="style3" />
    }
</WrapPanel>

I have done it through code, but I would prefer to have it in XAML, as this is somewhat common and basic functionality + I want to see it in designer with my sample data to style it well.

I tried to use ItemsControl to populate the collection, but it always creates it’s own panel, which obviously breaks wrapping.

I think one could also request to throw another collection there.

How to do it without writing code?

Answer 1

Why not use an items control with the WrapPanel as the ItemsControl.ItemsPanel? For multiple sources you can use the CompositeCollection to group them to display in your itemscontrol.
