Question

People use frequently something like:

<ListBox ItemsSource='{Binding ElementName=thisControl, Path=ListIndexes}'> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel> <Label Content='{Binding Path=IndexName}'/> <Label Content='{Binding Path=IndexValue}'/> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> 

But I would like to use, instead of labels, a control, like this:

<ListBox ItemsSource='{Binding ElementName=thisControl, Path=ListIndexes}'> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <local:Index Item='**{Binding}**'/> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> 

My doubt is what to put into this Binding to include the whole item from the collection.

Answer 1

The syntax for this is:

<local:Index Item='{Binding}'/> 

This will tell the data binding functions to bind the entire datacontext for each ListBox Item to the Item property in your Index control
