Question

What is the syntax for using XPath with Binding in XAML? Are there any MSDN pages which describe where to put the braces?

Visual Studio doesn’t like the following:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=/One/Two[@id='0']/Three/@Four}" />

I want the Text of the TextBlock to be set to the value of the Four attribute.

Looking at the documentation, you should set the binding using nested syntax as follows:

<TextBlock>
    <TextBlock.Text>
        <Binding XPath="/One/Two[@id='0']/Three/@Four" />
    </TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>
