Using Data Binding in WPF

Any real-world scalable application relies on a data model. Data Binding is the process that connects that data with the User Interface of your application. The easy communication between the two enables us to easily achieve a very clean separation of the UI and business logic, allowing designers and developers to work in parallel doing what they do best.

Support for data has been an afterthought in many previous technologies. “Windows Presentation Foundation,” however, was designed from the ground up with Data Binding in mind. Data Binding in “Windows Presentation Foundation” is extremely flexible because developers can link any Control to any type of data.

This lab will cover the main scenarios around Data Binding. We hope this is a good starting point for you to discover more about Data Binding as you apply these concepts to your own applications.
