What about this?
For example:
<UserControl ...
xmlns:model=".........."
>
<UserControl.DataContext>
<model:YourClass/>
<UserControl.DataContext>
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding YourPropertyOfYourClass}" />
</UserControl>

Sorry about the slow response, it took longer to recover from vacation than I thought (I had to wait until I was off to have time to start learning silverlight).
Your suggestion worked, so that means I don't understand the whole DataContext thing like I thought I did. I thought the control got it from whatever control contained it, but that is apparently not the case. Strange.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Ugh. I told you wrong. I forgot I had put some hackish stuff in the code behind that set the ItemsSource.
Here's roughly what I have. It's buried down in one cell of a datagrid that is in a cell of another datagrid on the page.
<ComboBox x:Name="cboTextColor" SelectedItem="{Binding Color}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Rectangle Fill="{Binding Color}" Width="25"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ColorName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
There is a regular .NET property on the code behind page called ProductColors. It is currently an ObservableCollection<colorentry> (where ColorEntry has an id, a color code, and a description). It seems like I should be able to bind to it by doing something like:
<ComboBox ItemsSource={Binding ProductColors}" />
However, even though the list has two items in it, nothing shows in the drop down.
Does this need to be a dependency property or something for binding to work?

That depends on what "ProductColors" is. Assuming it's a collection of
ColorEntry objects, you still need a data context set somewhere so the system
knows where to find the ProductColors object to bind to.

Hi
I'm creating a program to manage a competition which has several rounds. I have a class PreliminaryCompetition which contains a list of Teams and a list of Rounds, each Round containing a Result for each Team. I'd like to display the results of all rounds in a ListView control which has two columns to display team name and school name, followed by N columns to display results from N rounds. Is it possible to do this automagically with WPF binding? What do I have to implement to achieve this? (apologies - I'm a WPF noob)
Thanks
Jack

...someone wrote a Flash-based Silverlight engine. I'm sure that's not what Microsoft wants, but it would be instant ubiquity for Silverlight.
Flash has that fancy new native C converter, so I don't see performance being a huuuge issue. Considering MoonLight is open source, a ton of ground work has already been laid down.
Anybody up for a challenge? haha

It does already exist!
It's called Silverlight! Unknown to you it has been developed by Adobe people!
Of course you need to install a (very little) something to your PC (which does all the translation magic), but this all smooth and transparent!
Happy now? 
In what way were you thinking of something different? 
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

Did you read my post? A SILVERLIGHT engine that runs on Flash, in order to achieve instant ubiquity for Silverlight. So, you can develop Silverlight applications and not have to worry if the person has Silverlight installed _ as long as they have Flash installed, you could fallback to the Flaash based engine, point it at your XAP file, and BAM, the SL app runs in flash. There are tons of advantages to this. Silverlight is MUCH more developer friendly.

Yes, I saw the joke icon..."haha Adobe already did that" was the joke...but the "how is that any different" part is clearly not.

I think his follow-up question below makes it pretty clear it wasn't a joke :P

Yes.. this is very good point but it might not be possible.

I think for the most part, it could be done...there would probably be some differences that would have to be taken into account, but I think they could be made minimal. I can't think of a Silverlight feature that couldn't be emulated in Flash.

Did you think about your question?
Let me formulate it differently.
What you want is a flash extension that runs .NET code.
Flash now can't do it. So it will need to be upgraded with a new installer which runs .NET code.
Now my point is: what is the difference with a new flash installer that runs .NET code and the current Silverlight installer that runs .NET code?
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

I don't want a flash "extension"...I want a flash application that loads a specified XAP file (i.e. by passing in the path as an argument), parses the contents, and runs the Silverlight application. Basically, taking the MoonLight engine and converting all the low level browser stuff to run within the Flash engine.
*Edited for clarity

Well,
It's not exactly what you're looking for but some people did think like you and made this.[^]
Is it close enough?

That's interesting, although I wouldn't go back to WinForms if my life depended on it :P

Haha...I've been in the land of WPF and Silverlight for the last year or so...and it is really quite wonderful. I love the seperation of data and its visual representation, and the endless possibilities for templating controls.
WinForms works great for simple applications, or applications that use "standard" controls in "standard" ways. But it quickly becomes a royal pain after that :P

Couldn't agree more.

Hello coding Community,
i am currently developing with WPF on a more simple project but I got a problem and no googling could help me to find the answer.
I have several labels representing buttons on the GUI and I want them to work such as buttons work. So I used the MouseUp-Event but the debbuger only navigates to the event if I press the right Mousebutton not if I press the left Mousebutton. I tried that with nearly all MouseEvents, even with the MouseLeftButtonUp event, but it wont work. I don't know what to do next, so I ask here, because I don't want except probable future Users to click the right mouse button every time.
I'm glad about every help.
Greetings
MyPiano

i don't know why you're not getting the mouse button up event, but...
If you want the functionality of a button with the look of a label,
why not create a Button template instead of writing button functionality
yourself? I mean....that's one place WPF shines...
