Data Binding

[Arthur Vanderbilt]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to databind the RadTileView correctly.

The following XAML:

<Grid>
    <telerik:RadTileView
        Margin="12"
        Name="radTileView1"
        ItemsSource="{Binding}">
        <telerik:RadTileView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Description}" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerik:RadTileView.ItemTemplate>
    </telerik:RadTileView>
</Grid>

Will get me the boxes with the title bar showing my Description property and the panel part of the box showing the name of the class. I'm not sure where to put the binding information for the body of the panel, and I can't find anything about databinding for this control in the docs. Is there an example somewhere of this control databound?

Hello Arthur,

Here are the two properties most commonly used for binding the TileView:

- ItemTemplate: a DataTemplate that specifies how data will be rendered in the header if a tile.
- ContentTemplate: a DataTemplate that specifies what will be rendered in the content area of a tile.

So, in the code snippet you provided you only need to specify a ContentTemplate in which to provide a visual element that will render what you want to show in the content area. Let me know if you have any difficulties.
