WPF Basic Databinding

• Data binding is a relationship that tells WPF to extract some

information from a source object and use it to set a property
in a target object.
Binding to a Property of an
Element

<Label x:Name="label" Content="Test" FontSize="{Binding

ElementName=slider, Path=Value}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="10,32,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="40"
Width="497"/>
Binding to a Property of an
Element

Binding binding = new Binding();

binding.Source = slider;
binding.Path = new PropertyPath("Value");
binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
label3.SetBinding(TextBlock.FontSizeProperty, binding);
WPF Binding Mode
• Default. Varies for each dependancy property
• OneTime. Updates the binding target when the application
starts or when the data context changes.
• OneWay. Updates the binding target (target) property when
the binding source (source) changes.
• OneWayToSource. Updates the source property when the
target property changes.
• TwoWay. Causes changes to either the source property or the
target property to automatically update the other.
Consuming Web Service
JSON is…
• A lightweight text based data-interchange format
• Completely language independent
• Based on subset of the JavaScript Programming Language
• Easy to understand, manipulate, and generate
JSON is not…
• A “document” format
• A markup language
• A programming language
JSON Basics
• Unordered sets of name/value pairs
• Begins with { (left brace) and ends with } (right brace)
• Each name is followed by : (colon)
• Name/value pairs are separated by , (comma)
• Arrays begin with [ (left bracket) and ends with ] (right
bracket)
• Name/value of each indexes are separated by , (comma)
JSON Example
var employeeData = {
“employee_id”: 123,
“name”: “Budi”,
“address”: {
“street”: “Jl veteran 37”,
“city”: “Malang”,
“postal_code”: 65146
},
“active”: true
};
