Silverlight Object Binding in Visual Studio 2010 Beta2

Thanks for the quick response Xiaoying. I'm using C# and don't get the problem when I define a simple class such as (Person.cs):

namespace SilverlightApplication {

public class Person {

public string FirstName { get; set; }

}

Dropping that produces:

xmlns:my="clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication"

In the same project, when I drop the Customer class, and add "SilverlightApplication" to the namespace declaration, I get "'my:Customers' was not found". I created a new app and got exactly the same problem.

Hi WebMinder,

The code missing here is the namespace name of your object. For example, if your object is defined under namespace SilverlightApplication1, the code for this is xmlns:my="clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication1".

May I know what language you are using? Does it happen all the times in different projects?

Thanks,

Xiaoying

I'm stuck with this example, when I drag the Customers data source to the design surface I get the following error in the XAML for this entry:

xmlns:my="clr-namespace:"

"A namespace prefix declaration cannot be empty".

I have built the project, cleaned, rebuilt but still get the same error. I'm using VS 2010 Pro RTM and SL 4. What is the code for the namespace and why would it not be automatically added?

Hi Oscar,

In the Data Source Window pattern, the CollectionViewSource is always generated for databinding. May I know what you want to achieve here?

Thanks,

If the object I want to bind is not a list (i.e. customer instead of customers), what would I have to do? If I select details in the combo, VS2010 also generates a collectionView, and customer is not a list.
