问题


Recently i've read 'Databinding overview' article at MSDN and there is such sample code:

<TextBox.ToolTip>
  <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Self}" Path="(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent"/>
</TextBox.ToolTip>

I know that {} means markup extensions but what mean () parentheses here? It would be nice someone share link to explanation such syntax. Thanks!

Path="(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent"

回答1:


The () parentheses refer to Attached Properties.

Binding to an Attached Property




回答2:


Quoting the MSDN library (I'm quoting MSDN here because I couldn't have written it down better):

This syntax is generally used for one of the following cases:

  • The path is specified in XAML that is in a style or template that does not have a specified TargetType. A qualified usage is generally not valid for cases other than this, because in non-style, non-template cases, the property exists on an instance, not a type.
  • The property is an attached property.
  • You are binding to a static property.

For use as storyboard target, the property specified as propertyName must be a DependencyProperty.




回答3:


(Validation.Errors) references the attached property Errors in the Validation class. Since the binding has a RelativeSource = Self, it's gonna look for the value of that attached property with respect to the TextBox itself.

This below msdn link is neatly explaining about the validation rule and sequences as well as how to use.
