Examples

The following example binds a ListBox to a collection of Employee objects. The example sets SelectedValuePath to @EmployeeNumber and SelectedValue to 12345. This selects the Employee that has 12345 as the value of EmployeeNumber. This example also binds a TextBlock to the SelectedValue of the ListBox. When the user changes the selection in the ListBox, the TextBlock is updated to show the employee number of the currently selected employee.

<XmlDataProvider x:Key="Employees" XPath="/Employees/*">
  <x:XData>
    <Employees xmlns="">
      <Employee Name="Terry Adams" Type="FTE" EmployeeNumber="1" />
      <Employee Name="Claire O'Donnell" Type="FTE" EmployeeNumber="12345" />
      <Employee Name="Palle Peterson" Type="FTE" EmployeeNumber="5678" />
      <Employee Name="Amy E. Alberts" Type="CSG" EmployeeNumber="99222" />
      <Employee Name="Stefan Hesse" Type="Vendor" EmployeeNumber="-" />
    </Employees>
  </x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>

<DataTemplate x:Key="EmployeeItemTemplate">
  <TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@Name}" />
</DataTemplate>

<ListBox Name="employeeListBox"
         ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource Employees}}"
         ItemTemplate="{StaticResource EmployeeItemTemplate}"
         SelectedValue="12345"
         SelectedValuePath="@EmployeeNumber"/>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=employeeListBox, 
                  Path=SelectedValue}"/>
