I have a cellstyle defined as defined below:

    
             <Style x:Key="DayViewCellStyle1" TargetType="gridview:GridViewCell"> 
        
                        <Setter Property="Template">

                            </Setter.Value> 
        
                        </Setter> 
        
                    </Style>

However, you notice it is using an object called "Slot2" to bind. Since I need to do this for 5 additional columns (Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, Slot4, Slot5) I don't want to recreate this cellstyle every time just to set the Binding. Every column will be bound to the same nested fields but the Object names will be different. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Jon,

You can solve this by setting DataContext to any object that is parent for your textbox elements to the GridViewCell.Value property. Xaml code should look like this:

    
            <Style x:Key="DayViewCellStyle1" TargetType="gridview:GridViewCell"> 
        
                            <Setter Property="Template"> 
        
                                <Setter.Value> 
        
                                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="gridview:GridViewCell"> 
        
                                        <Border x:Name="GridViewCellBorder" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"> 
        
                                            <Grid x:Name="GridViewCellGrid" DataContext="{TemplateBinding Value}"> 
        
                                                <gridview:AlignmentContentPresenter x:Name="PART_ContentPresenter" TextAlignment="Center" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Visibility="Collapsed" /> 
        
                                                <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="3"> 
        
                                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}"></TextBlock> 
        
                                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding MiddleName}"></TextBlock> 
        
                                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}"></TextBlock> 
        
                                                </StackPanel> 
        
                                                <Rectangle Width="{TemplateBinding VerticalLineThickness}" Fill="{TemplateBinding VerticalLineFill}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Visibility="{TemplateBinding VerticalLineVisibility}" /> 
        
                                                <Rectangle Width="Auto" Height="Auto" x:Name="therect" Margin="0" Visibility="Collapsed" Stroke="#FFFFAB3F" StrokeThickness="2" /> 
        
                                                <Rectangle Width="Auto" Height="Auto" x:Name="CurrentBorder" Margin="2" Visibility="Collapsed" Stroke="#FF000000" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashOffset="0" StrokeDashCap="Square" StrokeDashArray="2" /> 
        
                                            </Grid> 
        
            ...

I'm also attaching a running sample application for your reference.
