Data binding - List collection item definition error

11-05-2009 2:06 AM |

Hi all,

With this simple List collection I can data bind it to TextBlocks with no problem:

stories.Add(new StoryInfo() { Headline = "US Gold Haul", Body = "Speed skating becomes a sensation at the winter olympics as US pick up seven gold medals in four days.", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images/1lg.png", UriKind.Relative)) });

Hi,

Can you share the code for StoryInfo class?

Thanks,

Here is the full code:

In MainPage.xaml.cs:

// Required to initialize variables

stories.Add(new StoryInfo() { Headline = "US Gold Haul", Body = "Speed skating becomes a sensation at the winter olympics as US pick up seven gold medals in four days.", TypeBody = "Play video", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images/1lg.png", UriKind.Relative)) });

stories.Add(new StoryInfo() { Headline = "Whistler Landslide", Body = "Downhill skiers face huge delays as main run is blocked by landslide on day four of competition.", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images/3lg.png", UriKind.Relative)) });

stories.Add(new StoryInfo() { Headline = "Duel for Gold", Body = "Cross country sprint finish is the first to result in a dead heat for 16 years. Swede and Austrian cross the line in record...", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images/5lg.png", UriKind.Relative)) });

stories.Add(new StoryInfo() { Headline = "Cologna Resumes Training", Body = "World Cup cross country skiing champion Dario Cologna of Switzerland has resumed training on snow following a...", Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images/7lg.png", UriKind.Relative)) });

In detailsPanel.xaml (where the xaml control are bound):

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" UseLayoutRounding="True" Margin="0" d:LayoutOverrides="HorizontalMargin" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="216" MinHeight="75">
   <Grid>
    <TextBlock x:Name="DetailsHeadlineCrossFade" Foreground="White" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="12" Margin="8,6,4,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" />
    <TextBlock x:Name="DetailsHeadline" Text="{Binding Headline}" Foreground="White" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="12" Margin="8,6,4,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" />
   </Grid>
   <Grid Margin="0,0,0,11">
    <TextBlock x:Name="DetailsBodyCrossFade" Foreground="White" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="10.667" Margin="8,4,4,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
    <TextBlock x:Name="DetailsBody" Text="{Binding Body}" Foreground="White" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="10.667" LineHeight="13" Margin="8,4,8,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
   </Grid>
   <Grid>
    <TextBlock x:Name="DetailsMedia" Text="{Binding TypeBody}" Margin="8,0,0,0" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="10.667" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
   </Grid>
   
  </StackPanel> 

I hope that is enough code?

Hi,

The compile error means your class "StoryInfo" doesn't have property or field called "TypeBody". You need check you StoryInfo type definiton, if "TypeBody" is needed, add the field to your class definition.

Thanks,
