Hi!
I have a button where I want a context menu to appear. But for some reason I can't get the databinding correct. To figure this out, I created a small sample project:
Here is the ViewModel
And here is the xaml:
I have tried various ways to get the items to appear in the context menu:
* Set datacontext explicitly on the ContextMenu
* removed the DataContext property on the Context Menu
* Used the Path overload on the binding method
How can I make the above code work properly showing the different Persons names?
/S
I have a button where I want a context menu to appear. But for some reason I can't get the databinding correct. To figure this out, I created a small sample project:
Here is the ViewModel
Code:
namespace WpfApplication1.ViewModel
{
public class Person

public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}

public IEnumerable<Person> PersonList

get
{
var li = new List<Person>()
{
new Person(){Name="Kalle", Age=12},
new Person(){Name="Nisse", Age=14},
new Person(){Name="Stina", Age=33}
};
return li;
}
}
}
