That's my understanding. Silverlight will only reflect over properties, as it does not use type descriptors - nor does it know how to determine a dynamic object's attributes.
If you use attr_accessor, I believe that'll result in corresponding properties being added to the generated class. If all else fails, you could use the Silveright DataSet ( http://silverlightdataset.net/silverlightdataset/Default.aspx) project to create bindable objects. Behind the scenes, it will create a class with properties that match the column names you pass in. I used it in a recent project where I needed to display a DataGrid bound to the results of an IDataReader, where the columns weren't known until runtime. Just throwin' it out there. -Charles On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 1:26 PM, Christopher Bennage <li...@ruby-forum.com>wrote: > I'm beginning to research this, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel > if there is already a solution out there. > > My understanding of the problem is this: > Data binding in Silverlight does not work because the system doesn't > know how to handle dynamic objects.
