Chapter 7. Binding to List Data

In Chapter 6, we looked at the basics of data binding with respect to single objects. However, when you've got lists of objects, you've got still more flexibility and power, including managing the "current" object in a list, sorting, filtering, and grouping. Also, WPF gives you the ability to expand a single data source object into a set of target UI elements with data templates, bring in XML and relational data, and perform master-detail binding and hierarchical binding. We discuss all of these topics in this chapter.
