DataTemplateSelector Class

Definition

Provides a way to choose a DataTemplate based on the data object and the data-bound element.

public ref class DataTemplateSelector
public class DataTemplateSelector
type DataTemplateSelector = class
Public Class DataTemplateSelector
Inheritance
DataTemplateSelector

Examples

In this example, the binding source is a list of Task objects. One of the properties of a Task object is Priority. There are two data templates defined, myTaskTemplate and importantTaskTemplate.

To supply logic to choose which DataTemplate to use based on the Priority value of the data object, create a subclass of DataTemplateSelector and override the SelectTemplate method. In the following example, the SelectTemplate method provides logic to return the appropriate template based on the value of the Priority property. The template to return is found in the resources of the enveloping Window element.

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace SDKSample
{
    public class TaskListDataTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
    {
        public override DataTemplate
            SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container)
        {
            FrameworkElement element = container as FrameworkElement;

            if (element != null && item != null && item is Task)
            {
                Task taskitem = item as Task;

                if (taskitem.Priority == 1)
                    return
                        element.FindResource("importantTaskTemplate") as DataTemplate;
                else
                    return
                        element.FindResource("myTaskTemplate") as DataTemplate;
            }

            return null;
        }
    }
}

Namespace SDKSample
    Public Class TaskListDataTemplateSelector
        Inherits DataTemplateSelector
        Public Overrides Function SelectTemplate(ByVal item As Object, ByVal container As DependencyObject) As DataTemplate

            Dim element As FrameworkElement
            element = TryCast(container, FrameworkElement)

            If element IsNot Nothing AndAlso item IsNot Nothing AndAlso TypeOf item Is Task Then

                Dim taskitem As Task = TryCast(item, Task)

                If taskitem.Priority = 1 Then
                    Return TryCast(element.FindResource("importantTaskTemplate"), DataTemplate)
                Else
                    Return TryCast(element.FindResource("myTaskTemplate"), DataTemplate)
                End If
            End If

            Return Nothing
        End Function
    End Class
End Namespace

We can then declare the TaskListDataTemplateSelector as a resource:

<Window.Resources>
<local:TaskListDataTemplateSelector x:Key="myDataTemplateSelector"/>
</Window.Resources>

To use the template selector resource, assign it to the ItemTemplateSelector property of the ListBox. The ListBox calls the SelectTemplate method of the TaskListDataTemplateSelector for each of the items in the underlying collection. The call passes the data object as the item parameter. The DataTemplate that is returned by the method is then applied to that data object.

<ListBox Width="400" Margin="10"
         ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myTodoList}}"
         ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource myDataTemplateSelector}"
         HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"/>

For the complete sample, see Introduction to Data Templating Sample.

Remarks

Typically, you create a DataTemplateSelector when you have more than one DataTemplate for the same type of objects and you want to supply your own logic to choose a DataTemplate to apply based on the properties of each data object. Note that if you have objects of different types you can set the DataType property on the DataTemplate. If you do that then there is no need to create a DataTemplateSelector. Furthermore, if you have objects of the same type but with different properties, you can also consider using a DataTrigger or a data converter. For more information, see Data Templating Overview.

To create a template selector, create a class that inherits from DataTemplateSelector and override the SelectTemplate method. Once your class is defined you can assign an instance of the class to the template selector property of your element.

Constructors
