How to bind button Name to Content?

问题

I have a list of buttons:

  <Button Style="{DynamicResource DestinationButtonStyle}">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding FullName}"
                               Style="{DynamicResource DestinationStationTextBlockStyle}"
                               TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" />
                </Button>

I want buttons to have names equal to text of content. Is it possible to make this kind of binding?

回答1:

Quote from the MSDN:

Data binding a Name is technically possible, but is an extremely uncommon scenario because a data-bound Name cannot serve the main intended purpose of the property: to provide an identifier connection point for code-behind.

In short, the Binding Name property for control is impossible and undesirable. But you can use the attached dependency property, like this:

<Button local:GiveName.Name="{Binding FullName}" ... />

Or you can use the Tag of Button, for Tag Binding works.

You shouldn't do that. There are several restrictions for Name property. As MSDN says:

Data binding a Name is technically possible, but is an extremely uncommon scenario because a data-bound Name cannot serve the main intended purpose of the property: to provide an identifier connection point for code-behind.
