Question

How to Binding list Collection from a list collection in Window Phone 7 while i am able to bind from a single list collection

Answer 1

First of all have item template in your Xaml.
Add Binding to it.
Define that binding property in your code.
Assign values to the defined property.
I am having a item template in my Xaml like this :
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="367*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="lstbNewOrders" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="itemTemplate" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="250"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Name="txtEbeln" Text="{Binding ebeln}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" FontWeight="Bold" />
<TextBlock FontSize="25" Name="txtCName" Text="{Binding cname}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" />
<TextBlock FontSize="25" Name="txtDate" Text="{Binding date}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Right" TextAlignment="Right"/>
<StackPanel Height="30" Name="stkPanel01" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock FontSize="25" Name="txtNetw" Text="{Binding netw}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" TextAlignment="Right"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="25" Name="txtVName" Text="{Binding vname}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
In my code file i will define the binding like this:
public class itemListForListBox
{
public string ebeln { get; set; }
public string cname { get; set; }
public string vname { get; set; }
public string netw { get; set; }
public string date { get; set; }
}
And provide values like this:
void fillList()
{
List<itemListForListBox> itemListbox = new List<itemListForListBox>();
itemListForListBox listItem;
for (int i = 0; i < 5;i++ )
{
listItem = new itemListForListBox();
listItem.ebeln = "Name "+i;
listItem.date = "Date "+i;
listItem.vname = "VName "+i;
listItem.netw = "Amount "+ i;
listItem.cname = "CName "+i;
itemListbox.Add(listItem);
}
lstbNewOrders.ItemsSource = itemListbox;
}
Hope this might help you.
Thanks.

You can use the code below,
<ListBox Name="RouteListBox" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource RouteListBoxItemStyle}" SelectedItem="{Binding Model.SelectedRoute,Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding RouteListCollection}">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Tap">
<command:EventToCommand Command="{Binding RouteItemSelectedCommand}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding RouteName}" Style="{StaticResource RoutesStyle}" Grid.Column="1" />
<Border Style="{StaticResource RouteCountBorder}" Visibility="Collapsed" Grid.Column="2">
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource RoutesCount}" Visibility="Collapsed" Text="{Binding ShopCount,Mode=TwoWay}"></TextBlock>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate></ListBox>

I take it you mean you have a collection of collections? In this case, you can nest your ItemsControls (or ListBox):
<ItemsControl ItemsSource={Binding Path=???}>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!-- here is your nested itemscontrol -->
<ItemsControl ItemsSource={Binding Path=???}>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!-- your content goes here -->
</DataTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>

Let say we have a ListBox lstbx and a collection lets say
List <String> listdata = new List<String>();
we can add items to the collection by Add()
Ex-
listdata.Add("Nazi 1");
or
forloop(expression)
{
listdata.Add("vale")
}
then we can assign assign the collection directly to the listbox' item Source
ex.
lstbx.ItemSource=listdata;
//make sure if u are storing more than one variable in a single item of the collection ,you should create custom data template for the ListBox Item Template. !
