Windows 8.1 DataTemplate in xaml resource file, Button click event is not called.

Question

Hi,

In my app for Windows 8.1 I declared a data template inside a Resource file for a ListView in order

to use it in more than one xaml pages. In the Data Template I have a button with che ClickEvent but this is not called

in the code behind of the page.

But If I declare the DataTemplate directly in the xaml page the click event is fired.

How I can get the click event of the button keeping the datatemplate in the resource page?

Thanks

Daniele.

Answer 1

datatemplates in resource files cant have event handlers, to be true its quiet funny its running normal, can't you work with commands ?

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

I have my dataTamplate declared in the app.xaml file.

So If I have understood well I have to use the commands in order to have the click event in the code behind of the my page?

Is there something example code which shows how the commands works?

Thanks

Daniele
