How can I set the text of a WPF Hyperlink via data binding?
It looks strange, but it works. We do it in about 20 different places in our app. Hyperlink
implicitly constructs a <Run/>
if you put text in its "content", but in .NET 3.5 <Run/>
won't let you bind to it, so you've got to explicitly use a TextBlock
.
<TextBlock> <Hyperlink Command="local:MyCommands.ViewDetails" CommandParameter="{Binding}"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}"/> </Hyperlink></TextBlock>
Update: Note that as of .NET 4.0 the Run.Text property can now be bound:
<Run Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
This worked for me in a "Page".
<TextBlock> <Hyperlink NavigateUri="{Binding Path}"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Path}" /> </Hyperlink></TextBlock>
On Windows Store app (and Windows Phone 8.1 RT app) above example does not work, use HyperlinkButton and bind Content and NavigateUri properties as ususal.
