Is it possible to bind to a ValueTuple field in WPF with C#7

Question

If I have a viewmodel property

public (string Mdf, string MdfPath) MachineDefinition { get; set; }

and I try to bind to it in XAML / WPF

Answer 1

The MdfPath approach will never work, since the name part is very restrictive in terms of where it actually exists. Essentially, it is pure compiler voodoo, and doesn't exist in the type model, which means that anything that talks to the type model (which includes reflection, UI tools, serializers, etc) will only see the Item1, Item2 names; not the fake names.
