F#/WPF event binding

Question

I am wandering if there is a way of hooking an event defined in XAML to a F# function of member ? Of course, I could do it diagrammatically but it is kind of inconvenient. <

This is now supported in the newer versions of FsXaml, though it works slightly differently than it does in C#.

Using FsXaml, you can define your Xaml and specify your event handler. For example, in a window named "MyWindow", you can do:

In your "code behind" file, you would handle this like so:

type MyWindowBase = XAML<"MyWindow.xaml">
type MyWindow () =
    inherit MyWindowBase

    override this.button1_Click (_,_) = () // Handle event here
