Hi,

I have a TextBox and a string variable named FirstName.

I want to bind this variable to that texbox.
That means when I change value of FirstName also textbox text will change automatically.

Solution 1

You really need to start from the basics!
Begin using msdn[^].

You might also want to consider reading some books on WPF.

No that's not what OP meant! :doh:

Given how scant the posting was I am surprised that anyone could tell what he wanted.

Tarun.K.S 2-Jun-11 5:43am

I beg to differ here, OP wanted to get notified whenever the property "FirstName" changes. For this, OP has to implement IPropertyNotifyChanged interface and bind the property to the textbox and rest of the job will be done by the WPF engine.

I read it as he wanted the text in the textbox to change when he changed the value of a variable.
That is actually what he asked.

And what does the code specified in your link do? Also I didn't vote your answer.
