Question

Looking for the WPF equivalent of the following:

<controls:TabItem
    Foreground="Black"
    Header="{Binding Path=Home.Header}"
    Content="{Binding **Path=Home**, Mode=OneWay}" />

Home is:

public ViewModelBase Home
{
    get
    {
        return this._homeViewModel;
    }
}

Inside my ViewModel, I am unable to bind the XAML to the _homeViewModel in Silverlight.

Any ideas ?

Silverlight still doesn’t support implicit DataTemplates 🙁

The best you can do is to use an attached behaviour to set the DataTemplate yourself (and have the behaviour get a DataTemplate with a key that is defined by convention).

Google “Attached Behaviour” if that was gobbledygook.
