|---|---|
{Binding} provides a data-bound property value such that the value is deferred until run time. A binding markup extension is converted into an intermediate expression object at XAML load time. The expression and the data context are used by a data binding engine to determine the property value at run time. |
|
Provides a value for any XAML attribute by evaluating a reference to a resource that comes from a custom resource-lookup implementation. Resource lookup is performed by a CustomXamlResourceLoader class implementation. |
|
Provides a means to specify the source of a binding in terms of a relative relationship in the run-time object graph. |
|
Provides a value for any XAML attribute by evaluating a reference to an already defined resource. Resources are defined in a ResourceDictionary, and a StaticResource usage references the key of that resource in the ResourceDictionary. |
|
Links the value of a property in a control template to the value of some other exposed property on the templated control. TemplateBinding can only be used within a ControlTemplate definition in XAML. |
|
Provides a value for any XAML attribute by evaluating a reference to a resource, with additional system logic that retrieves different resources depending on the currently active theme. Similar to StaticResource, resources are defined in a ResourceDictionary, and a ThemeResource usage references the key of that resource in the ResourceDictionary. |
