Binding the Path Property of a Binding

Question

is it possible to bind the Path property of a binding to another property?

I want to realize this code:

Text=\"{Binding Path={Binding Path=CurrentPat         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps you could bind to a property that returns another property based on a switch statement and bind to that. Change the 'switch' property and you change the output of the other property. Just don't forget to include your NotifyPropertyChanged stuff in the switch property for the bound property otherwise your view will not update. e.g.

private int _mySwitch;

//Set this to determine what the other property will return.
public int SwitchProperty
{
    get { return _mySwitch; }
    set
    {
        _mySwitch = value;
        NotifyPropertyChanged("MySwitchableProperty");
    }
}
public String PropertyA { get; set; }
public String PropertyB { get; set; }

//Bind to this property
public String MySwitchableProperty
{
    get
    {
        switch (SwitchProperty)
        {
            case 1:
                return PropertyA;
                break;
            case 2:
                return PropertyB;
                break;
            default :
                return String.Empty;
                break;
        }
    }
}
