ContentPresenter.Content Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets the data that is used to generate the child elements of a ContentPresenter.

Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Content As Object

public Object Content { get; set; }

<ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Object
The data that is used to generate the child elements. The default is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: ContentProperty

When you put a ContentPresenter in the ControlTemplate of a ContentControl, it automatically displays the Content of the templated control. For example, if you put a ContentPresenter in a ControlTemplate of a Button, the Content property of the ContentPresenter is implicitly bound to the Content of the Button that uses the ControlTemplate.

The XAML usage shown is the necessary when a ContentPresenter is part of a DataTemplate. When a ContentPresenter is part of a ControlTemplate, you do not need to template bind the Content property.

Examples

The following example creates a ControlTemplate for Button and uses a ContentPresenter to display the content of the Button.

    <Style x:Key="newButtonTemplate" TargetType="Button">
