Groupbar ItemsSource Binding

[Jan Golasowski]

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to bind Groupbar's ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection.

MyType class contains only one property - Info (string).

I have defined a DataTemplate in the UserControl.Resources section:







and assigned this template to Groupbar:

EnableItemsDragging="False" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource template}" ItemsSource="{Binding GroupBarItems}">

GroupBarItems is a collection in my ViewModel. This collection is instantiated correctly...

When I run my Silverlight app I am getting this error:

Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 4004
Category: ManagedRuntimeError
Message: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
v Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls.GroupBar.LoadTemplateChildren()
v Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls.GroupBar.OnApplyTemplate()
v System.Windows.FrameworkElement.OnApplyTemplate(IntPtr nativeTarget)

Can you please give me an advice?

Thank you.

When I try to bind the groupbar to a collection as coded above, the header text of my items are set to the collection object name. Could someone post an example of databinding with the groupbar? It is not present in the documentation either.

Sakthi,

Thanks for your response, but this is a WPF solution. Could you attach one for Silverlight?
