Binding Error

[Scott]

When adding the following TimeBar to my app,  I get Binding errors when scrolling through the data.  I have removed the sparkline within the TimeBar and I still get the binding errors.

<telerik:RadTimeBar PeriodStart="1-Jan-2010 12:00:00 AM" PeriodEnd="31-Dec-2011 11:59:59 PM"
                     VisiblePeriodStart="11-Nov-2010 12:00:00 AM" VisiblePeriodEnd="14-March-2011 11:59:59 PM"
                     SelectionStart="1-Jan-2011 12:00:00 AM" SelectionEnd="28-Feb-2011 11:59:59 PM">
       <telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
           <telerik:YearInterval />
           <telerik:MonthInterval />
           <telerik:WeekInterval />
           <telerik:DayInterval />
       </telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
       <!--<telerik:RadLinearSparkline ItemsSource="{Binding LinearData}" XValuePath="Date" YValuePath="Value" />-->
   </telerik:RadTimeBar>

Here is what I get in the output window:

System.Windows.Data Error: BindingExpression path error: 'Label' property not found on 'MyApp.ViewModels.DashboardPaneViewModel' 'MyApp.ViewModels.DashboardPaneViewModel' (HashCode=53251301). BindingExpression: Path='Label' DataItem='MyApp.ViewModels.DashboardPaneViewModel' (HashCode=53251301); target element is 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' (Name=''); target property is 'Text' (type 'System.String')..

As you can see, the XAML is cut and past from your online documentation found here: 

Can you tell me what is causing the binding to fail when I have nothing bound to this control?

Thanks,

It truns out this binding error is coming when I set my ViewModel in the RadPane or Grid holding the TimeBar control.  The TimeBar is constantly looking for a Label property for some reason.  To get rid of the error, I added a automatic property called Label to my ViewModel, but I would like know if I am doing something wrong, or if this is a bug.

Thanks,

Hello Scott,

RadTimeBar uses container recycling for its group and item label containers. This issue appears in Silverlight for some reason when recycling the containers. Our developers are working on this issue and will fix it for one of the next releases. Unfortunately due to the source of the problem I cannot suggest a proper workaround except for the one you come up with.

Best wishes,
