WPF - binding to a property of a custom object that is inside another object

Question

I\'m working in WPF 4 / C#. I have two custom classes:

public class c1 {
    public string prop1 { get; set; }

    public c1() {
        prop1 = \"world\";
             


        

Answer 1

Your obj1 is a field, not a property, therefore you can't access the C1 object.

Consider this instead:

public class c2 {
    public string prop1 { get; set; }
    private readonly c1 _obj1;

    public c2() {
        prop1 = "hello";
        _obj1 = new c1();
    }

    public c1 PropObj1 { get { return _obj1; } }
}

And

<TextBlock DataContext="{DynamicResource c2}" Text="{Binding PropObj1.prop1}"/>

PS. Next time better to use an example with standard naming conventions (e.g. lower case fields/variables, upper case properties etc) to allow people to see the problem sooner!

Answer 2

You can't bind to fields, they have to be properties.
