Grid.Row Binding

Question

I've been trying to set the Grid.Row property of a TextBlock (or any other element for that matter) through a binding expression and having no luck.  Would anyone have any advice on this, the situation can be simplified to something like this:

Code Snippet

public class DataItem
{

public string Summary { get; set; }
public int Row { get; set; }
public int Col { get; set; }

}

And the following mark up file.

Code Snippet

<ListBox ItemsSource="{StaticResource DataItems}">

<ListBox.ItemsPanel>

<ItemsPanelTemplate>

<Grid>

<!-- Row & Column definitions -->

</Grid>

</ItemsPanelTemplate>

</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemsTemplate>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Summary}" Grid.Row="{Binding Path=Row}" Grid.Column="{Binding Path=Col}" />

</ListBox.ItemsTemplate>

</ListBox>

This does nothing to re-arrange the items onto the grid. Can anyone provide some insight?

Thanks in advance.

This works pretty well for me:

Code Snippet

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
    <Page.Resources>
        <x:Array Type="{x:Type s:Int32}" x:Key="data">
            <s:Int32>0</s:Int32>
            <s:Int32>1</s:Int32>
            <s:Int32>2</s:Int32>
        </x:Array>
    </Page.Resources>
    <ListBox ItemsSource="{StaticResource data}">
        <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition Height="23"/>
                        <RowDefinition Height="23"/>
                        <RowDefinition Height="23"/>
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                </Grid>
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
                <Setter Property="Grid.Row" Value="{Binding}"/>
            </Style>
        </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    </ListBox>
</Page>

You need to set the Grid.Row property on ListBoxItem instead.

hope this helps

Thanks, works perfectly.

 

Sorry for late reply, I'm so used to CodeProject's method of emailing when an answer is received that I only just thought to check back and see if it was answered.
