Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use this method.
<TextBox x:Name="textBox1" Text="{Binding Test, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit}" />
<Button Content="Update" Click="Button_Click" />
Public Class TestData
Private testValue As String
Public Property Test() As String
Get
Return testValue
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
testValue = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
Private data As TestData
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
data = New TestData
With data
.Test = "one"
End With
textBox1.DataContext = data
End Sub
Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim expression As BindingExpression = _
textBox1.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty)
MessageBox.Show("Before UpdateSource, Test = " & data.Test)
expression.UpdateSource()
MessageBox.Show("After UpdateSource, Test = " & data.Test)
End Sub
public class TestData
{
public String Test { get; set; }
}
TestData data;
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
data = new TestData { Test = "one" };
textBox1.DataContext = data;
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
BindingExpression expression = textBox1.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty);
MessageBox.Show("Before UpdateSource, Test = " + data.Test);
expression.UpdateSource();
MessageBox.Show("After UpdateSource, Test = " + data.Test);
}
