How to bind to a property of a property??

Sam posted over 12 years ago

I have two classes that look like this:

class TBARule

{

public Rule_Core Rule_Core {get; set;}

}

class Rule_Core

{

public string RULE_NAME {get; set}

}

I have a XamDataGrid that binds to a list of TBARule.

In that grid, I need to bind a text box to the property TBARule.Rule_Core.RULE_NAME.

I tried making a property on TBARule with a getter that returned Rule_Core.RULE_NAME but that does not work.

I also tried setting the datacontext of the textbox to the Rule_Core property and binding to RULE_NAME as shown below. It does not work:

<code>

igDP:Field Name="Name" Width

="3*">

<igDP:Field.Settings

<igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit

="False">

<igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor

}">

<Setter Property="Background" Value

="Transparent"/>

<Setter Property="DataContext" Value="{Binding Path=Rule_Core, Mode=TwoWay}"></Setter

<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding RULE_NAME}"></Setter

</Style

</igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle

</igDP:FieldSettings

</igDP:Field.Settings

</igDP:Field

</code>

Thanks for any help!!
