Could use some XAML Help

Immsy · 10 Apr 2017 at 07:53

Really struggling with a bit of XAML at the moment. Trying to learn UWP dev and this is my first time in XAML. I have put up a post on Stack Overflow with some code and screenshots of what I'm trying to achieve - would really appreciate any people with XAML experience taking a look over it for me.

Thanks

Yes that would have been helpful - I actually just worked out what was wrong but will update the SO post

I wasn't styling my ListView ItemContainerStyle which apparently you need to do

My next task is to work out how to show different bits of XAML based on what's returned from a server. E.g. Green background if tram is running on time or red if late etc. Do you have any idea on that?

Thanks

Maybe try something like:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Destination}" x:key="{Binding ExpectedTime}"/>

And the styles:

<Style x:Key="OnTime" TargetType="TextBlock">
//green background
</style>
<Style x:Key="Late" TargetType="TextBlock">
//red background
</style>

How would I send the different key from the c#?

Edit: Oh I see I can sent binding on the key also - I will have a go and see what I come up with.

The answer on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...nt-xaml-template-depending-on-a-binding-value allowed me to change the DataTemplate at runtime - leaving here for future reference.
