    copied!<p>I have created a class <code>LeagueMatch</code>. </p> <pre><code>public class LeagueMatch { public string Home { get { return home; } set { home = value; } } public string Visitor { get { return visitor; } set { visitor = value; } } private string home; private string visitor; public LeagueMatch() { } } </code></pre> <p>Next, I have defined a datatemplate resource for <code>LeagueMatch</code> objects in XAML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;DataTemplate x:Key="MatchTemplate" DataType="{x:Type entities:LeagueMatch}"&gt; &lt;Grid Name="MatchGrid" Width="140" Height="50" Margin="5"&gt; &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="*" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="*" /&gt; &lt;RowDefinition Height="*" /&gt; &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding Home}" /&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Text="- vs -" /&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="{Binding Visitor}" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the XAML code-behind, I want to create a <code>ContentPresenter</code> object and to set it's data binding to a previously initialized <code>LeagueMatch</code> object and apply the defined data template. How is that supposed to be done? Thanks. </p> <h2>Solution</h2> <pre><code>LeagueMatch match = new LeagueMatch("A team", "B team"); ContentPresenter contentPresenter = new ContentPresenter(); contentPresenter.ContentTemplate = this.FindResource("MatchTemplate") as DataTemplate; Binding binding = new Binding(); binding.Source = match; contentPresenter.SetBinding(ContentPresenter.ContentProperty, binding); matchSlot.Children.Clear(); matchSlot.Children.Add(contentPresenter); </code></pre>
