Hi
Here is a problem that one of my colleagues who is just starting to use WPF got himself into. He was working on an application that displays items using an ItemsControl and uses a DataTemplate. Inside the DataTemplate he used an Image. Here is the Xaml code:
1: <Window.Resources>
2: <Image Source="Creek.jpg" x:Key="IMG"></Image>
3: </Window.Resources>
4: <Grid>
5: <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
6: <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
7: <DataTemplate>
8: <Border BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Black"
9: CornerRadius="3" MinHeight="10">
10: <ContentControl Content="{StaticResource IMG}"/>
11: </Border>
12: </DataTemplate>
13: </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
14: </ItemsControl>
15: </Grid>
This is a much simpler example, but the principal is the same.
Can you see what was he doing wrong?
