Binding is a key concept in Silverlight and WPF, and it can be confusing for developers new to the technology. In this session, you'll learn how to use both declarative and programmatic data binding, binding properties and data to WPF and Silverlight controls and their properties. If you're not an expert on Silverlight and WPF binding, you're missing a huge part of the experience.
You will learn:
- Use the XAML Binding class
- Create data converters
- Add data templates to control the layout of bound lists
