  1. POWhy isn't this data binding working?
    text
    copied!<p>So I'm brand new to WPF data binding, and it is.. complicated. At this point, I'm trying to just create a list of premade test items and have it displayed in a listbox with a data template when I press a button. After hours of puzzling through tutorials and MSDN this is the best I could come up with. </p> <p>The data item I want to make a list from:</p> <pre><code>class ListingItem { private string title; private string user; private string category; //Dummy constructor for test purposes public ListingItem() { title = "TestTitle"; user = "TestUser"; category = "TestCatagory"; } } </code></pre> <p>The quick and dirty list creator:</p> <pre><code>class ListMaker { public static List&lt;ListingItem&gt; getListing() { List&lt;ListingItem&gt; listing = new List&lt;ListingItem&gt;(); for(int i = 0; i &lt;100; i++) { listing.Add(new ListingItem()); } return listing; } } </code></pre> <p>The XAML of the list itself:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ListBox x:Name="Listing"&gt; &lt;ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Margin="25,0,0,0" Text="{Binding user}"/&gt; &lt;TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Margin="25,0,0,0" Text="{Binding category}"/&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;TextBlock Foreground="Black" Width="270" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding title}"/&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>And finally, the button click event which is SUPPOSED to make the magic happen: </p> <pre><code>private void TabClickEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Listing.DataContext = RedditScanner.getListing(); } </code></pre> <p>Problem is, obviously, the magic is not happening. No errors or anything so easy, I just press that button and dont see any change to the list box. Any help with this? </p>
