Three New Videos On Data Binding

I’m pleased to announce that we’ve posted three new videos on DataBinding and on DataTemplates (creating templates that control the display of a collection of data in a list control such as a list box)

Unfortunately, we swapped the images for the Blend video and the Xaml video which is a bit confusing but we’ll get that fixed. And, while the three videos do stand alone, watching them in the order 37 –>39 -> 38 will make a good bit more sense <smile>.

In any case, I hope you find them interesting and useful. The first, An Overview… explains the fundamental concepts of DataBinding and ListTemplates. The “second”, DataBinding and DataTemplates in Xaml shows how to bind the properties of business objects to Silverlight controls in Xaml and how to create DataTemplates by hand.

Finally, the “third”, DataBidning and DataTemplates With Expression Blend recreates that same work using Expresion Blend (and note that it is 9 minutes vs. 22!).
