datatemplate

I have a ListView which has a data template based on a grid. The xaml is as follows: <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding SomeItemSource}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="281"> <ListView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="3" Width="Auto"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition></RowDefinition> <RowDefinition></RowDefinition> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="70"></ColumnDefinition> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <!-- Grid content here --> <TextBlock Text="SomeTextbox" Margin=

This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to define some sample data as DataContext in order to see my DataTemplate in DesignView? At the moment I always have to run my application to see whether my changes are working. E.g. with the following code DesignView just shows an empty list box: <ListBox x:Name="standardLayoutListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding myListboxItems}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition /> <RowDefinition /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Label Grid.Column="0" Content="{Binding text1}" /> <Label Grid.Column="1" Content="{Binding

<CombobBox x:Name="cbo" Style="{StaticResource ComboStyle1}" DisplayMemberPath="NAME" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=NAME}" SelectedIndex="1"> <ComboBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=NAME}"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </ComboBox.ItemTemplate> </ComboBox> In the Window OnLoaded event, I wrote the code to set the ItemsSource : cbo.ItemsSource = ser.GetCity().DefaultView; While loading the window I can see that the initially the the first item is loading but at the same time it clears the displayed item. I am stuck in this scenario and any help is appreciated.

I have a container type control which contains a number of items. The container control has a DataTemplate defined which also contains a ItemsControl with a DataTemplate for the item. The items however need to bind to something from the container control. A simplified example is given below: <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ContainerType}"> <!-- Display of the container stuff--> <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items, Mode=OneWay}"> <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type Item}"> <!-- Display of the item stuff --> <ComboBox Text="Choose a container-level option..."

This is the UserControl that displays the details from my application and as you can see the ColumnWidth Property is explicit set to * . I also tried to set the Width property from the DataGridTextColumn . <UserControl x:Class="WpfUserInterface.MyDetailsView" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" Height="185" d:DesignWidth="480"> <Grid> <DataGrid ColumnWidth="*"

I have UserControl to do filtering for several presentations, which in turn has a ContentControl. The content are the individual filtering controls that vary among the presentations. The scheme works as intended visually, but the data bindings do not. There are no data binding errors in output. The DataContext is from a view model call PimMasterVm, which otherwise seems correctly wired (ie, the status of 5 avalable people, etc) Can someone help me trouble shoot this?
