Binding To Collection from example not working

[RoxanaC]

Hello! I was trying to get advantage from the RadTabControl component in my project and have it bounded to a collection I am going to use. I follow all the steps in the documentation, but in the end the tab names are still the name of the class and not some property string I want to use. I even made a project using your own classes (Person & ViewModel) thinking that something is wrong with my code and I still see "DataInfo.Person" at the name of each tab (DataInfo is my namespace)

I am using exactly your code:

namespace DataInfo {
    public class Person {
        public Person( string name, int age ) {
            this.Name = name;
            this.Age = age;
        }
        public string Name {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public int Age {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
}

namespace DataInfo {
    public class ViewModel {
        public ViewModel() {
            this.Persons = new ObservableCollection<Person>();
            this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Ivan", 23 ) );
            this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Stefan", 34 ) );
            this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Maria", 16 ) );
            this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Michael", 78 ) );
        }
        public ObservableCollection<Person> Persons {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
}

<UserControl x:Class="DataInfo.TabControl"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:DataInfo="clr-namespace:DataInfo"
             xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <DataInfo:ViewModel x:Key="DataSource" />
        <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Age}" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"
          Background="White">
        <Controls:RadTabControl x:Name="radTabControl"
                                Margin="8"
                                ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataSource}, Path=Persons}"
                                DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                                ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplate}" />

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Is there something I've misunderstood?

Thank you!

Hi RoxanaC,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I logged it as a bug and we will try to fix it as soon as possible. I also updated your Telerik points accordingly.

In the meantime, you can use Style binding for the  HeaderTemplate and the ContentTemplate, like this:

<telerikNavigation:RadTabControl Name="radTabControl1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
    <telerikNavigation:RadTabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="telerikNavigation:RadTabItem">
            <Setter Property="HeaderTemplate"
                 Value="{StaticResource HeaderTemplate}" />
            <Setter Property="ContentTemplate"
                 Value="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" />
        </Style>
    </telerikNavigation:RadTabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
</telerikNavigation:RadTabControl>

Please take a look at the example that I attached and let me know if it works for you or if you need more info.
