Question

This is kinda hard to define my question precisely but I’ll try to do my best !
I actually have a lots (hundreds) of classical Bindings like this :

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FrameNames}"/>

Where FrameNames is a properties of my code-behind.
The thing is that I, now, have to do a binding on a method and I know that this is not the MVVM norm but that’s what I want to do.
The code (that doesn’t work) look like :

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=LocalizationUtil.GetLocales()}"/>

Is there a way to do it ? (even if this is not prely respecting the MVVM pattern !)

(This work if I do it in the code-behind, MyComboBox.Itemsource = LocalizationUtil.GetLocales()
but of course it doesn’t get noticed if there is a change)

Answer 1

You can add a Locales property to your view model and bind to it, like so

public LocaleObject Locales
{
    get { return LocalizationUtil.GetLocales(); }
}

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Locales, Mode=OneWay}" />
