UserControl as DataTemplate inside ListBox

Question

I want to reuse my UserControls in other UserControls like page or window as DataTemplates, in this example inside a ListBox. Everything is MVVM.

I\'ve a UserControl

Answer 1

For the ListBox control an inferred ListBoxItem is created for each item in the items source. The Item is set as the DataContext and your ItemTemplate is set as the template. Since DataContext inherits, you don't have to explicitly set it because it's already the instance of Card in your DataTemplate.

For this case, you don't have to set the DC on the CardControl because it's set for you.

 
   
     
       

         
         // would display ID of Card 
         // would display Image of Card 

         
         

       
     
   
 

Should work for you.
