Hi all,
I'm going crazy doing a quite simple thing (so... I thinked it is simple :D)
I have an ItemsControl binded to a collection of Points (x,y) and this
control has an ItemsPanel set to <Canvas />
Now I need to bind the X and Y property to the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top of
a Rectangle I put into the ItemTemplate property
to have the resulting rectangles distribuited in the canvas area according
to the x and y properties (I'm drawing the plan of a cinema seats).
I know in WPF this is achieved using a Style for the Rectangle in the
ItemTemplate because it is not possible to bind directly Canvas.Top
and Canvas.Left properties. I tryied both the solutions in Silverlight 2.00
but I'm unable to achieve the required result due to bad exceptions
(Memory corrupted?!?!? :S) or simply nothing displayed. It seems that the
{Binding} extension does not work on properties inside the
Rectangle...
Here is a bit of code:
<ItemsControl DataContext="{StaticResource ds}" ItemsSource="{Binding Places
}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Rectangle Height="25" Width="25" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Fill
="#31FFFFFF">
<Rectangle.Style>
<Style TargetType="Rectangle">
<Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding X}"/>
<Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding Y}"/>
</Style>
</Rectangle.Style>
</Rectangle>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
I've tryied with style embedded and with style in a resource section. And of
course I've tryied also binding directly to the Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left
properties.
Does anyone of you have never did something similar?
Where's the trick?
:D
Bye!
