I'm confused...

Then why didn't you show these "sets of "String[6]""?? 
The 6 textboxes....you want to bind those by index to 6 strings in a collection, right?
And that collection of 6 strings - where is that? Is that the List<> in each dictionary entry?

Ok, will try refine myself here
public class CouplerDB
{
private Dictionary<String, Coupler> m_products;
....
}
public class Coupler
{
private Dictionary<String, Attenuation> m_attenuations
....
}
public class Attenuation
{
private Dictionary<Band, List<String>> m_values = new Dictionary<Band, List<String>>();
I want my user control textboxes to display the values from the List<String>
but it's not absolute necessary to have that list, just a place to store 6 different value.
Scenario: In a listbox I can select a product. Radiobuttons to select Coupler. Then I have a UserControl for each Band which I want to display the corresponding Strings. Clear? 
*Sigh*
If I change Coupler I need to change the binding.
Another way to do it is to hardcode everything, but then I need almost 60 UserControls with a total of 360 Textboxes! My way I "only" need maximum 10 UserControls...

No. 
mikla521 wrote: Radiobuttons to select Coupler
Select a coupler from where? You only show one coupler per product in the m_products dictionary.
How do you know how many radiobuttons there should be?
Are any of these dictionaries fixed count? Which ones?
It loks on the outside like a (relatively) simple 3-level master-detatil scenario.
I just want to try to put together a sample for you and it would be easiest
if I know and understand the data you're working with

I will try again
A listbox where I can select product, nothing strange here.
Then a Tab with 6 radiobuttons to select Coupler and in that same Tab I have my UserControls.
So when I change selectedItem in my listbox OR change radiobutton, I need to update my UserControls with new data.
ONE of the UserControls in my XAML looks like:
<AttBox:MyAttBox Header="GSM 850" x:Name="AttBox_GSM850"/>
In my code I have (don't care about the private members now, let's say they are public ):
public CouplerDB myDB = new CouplerDB When I want to change in the UC I get the values from:
Product p = (Product)productListbox.SelectedItem;
myDB.m_products[p.ProductName].m_attenuations["Cable"].Values[Band.GSM850][0]
myDB.m_products[p.ProductName].m_attenuations["Cable"].Values[Band.GSM850][1]... so I can set
AttBox_GSM850.LowChRX = myDB.m_products[p.ProductName].m_attenuations["Cable"].Values[Band.GSM850][0];
But to simplify things here... If I have ONE and only ONE UC. I want a Dictionary where each KEY selects, i.e a List<String> to populate the UC listboxes, also want TwoWayBinding. Ehh..I have a testproject, where can I post it?

Been trying around a little...
If my data object looks like:
public class MyData : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private String m_LowChRX;
private String m_LowChTX;
public String LowChRX
{
get { return m_LowChRX; }
set { m_LowChRX = value; OnPropertyChanged("LowChRX"); }
}
public String LowChTX
{
get { return m_LowChTX; }
set { m_LowChTX = value; OnPropertyChanged("LowChTX"); }
}...
In my code I can set the data values in
MyData myData1; And use binding like this
binding = new Binding("LowChRX");
binding.Source = myData1;
myBox.tbLowChRX.SetBinding(TextBox.TextProperty, binding);where myBox is my UC. And, again, I have 6 textboxes in myBox. Then I have to repeat that binding for each textbox. And here is the point where I change from myData1 to other data objects.
If I have a List<String> in my UC, how do I bind it? When then TextBox is a Control, maybe I have to make a custom control inside which hold my List? So I can bind like:
myBox.CustomControl.SetBinding(Property, binding)
Am I on the right track now?

You can use Binding with the DependencyProperty.
You can get information on how to implement the DependencyProperty in this blog:
How to Implement a DependencyProperty?
Try with that. It will work.

WPF gives you a couple options here. I'll just show them in XAML and let you decide what you want and translate to code-behind if you want. All of these examples assume you have an object of type ABC as the DataContext.
Option A - Bind to a specific list with a known key:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Values[KeyToGetItems]}" />
Option B - Bind to the entire list with another set of controls for the current item:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ListBox Name="lstValues" ItemsSource="{Binding Values}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Key}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedItem.Value, ElementName=lstValues}">
<!-- other controls here -->
</StackPanel>
</Grid>

Hi All,
I have seen an application which will change the non client area of any windows using in my system. and the application is cristalxp theme.
Now my doubt is along with the application he gave few images which are in png format, Here I would like to expain on image
He has close button image which is simmilar to Vista Close button and in the same image it self he has five more images i.e
one for maximised mouse over,
one for maximised mouse leave,
one for minimized mouse over,
one for minimized mouse leave,
when ever i do some event on the cloe button rexpective image is getting loaded.
I felt that is wow single image with multiple images and loading respectivly.
If some know this logic will you please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Seshu

I'm not sure what you're asking here, but AFAIK, there's no support
in PNG for multiple frames in a single image.
The BitmapFrame class can be used as an ImageSource for individual frames
in a multi-frame image if the format supports it (TIFF and GIF in WPF).
So....what are you asking?

Overview
WPF Project (VS 2008)
I'm using a ListView (with GridView) bound to an ObservableCollection. The collection includes a DateTime field.
When I populate the collection, the DateNR field is often null, but then the ListView displays a date of "01-Jan-01"!!
How do I stop this as I don't want the user to see a date when there shouldn't be one. I need the DateNR field in the collection to be a DateTime value not a string because this column is used for sorting.
Any ideas would be welcome. thanks
<br />
public class RecordData<br />
{<br />
public int ID { get; set; }<br />
public DateTime DateNR { get; set; }<br />
}<br />
The GridView column for 'DateNR' is specified as follows:
<br />
GridViewColumnHeader gvch = new GridViewColumnHeader();<br />
GridViewColumn gvc = new GridViewColumn();<br />
Binding bind = new Binding("DateNR");<br />
bind.Converter = new FormattingConverter();<br />
bind.ConverterParameter = @"{0:dd-MMM-yy}";<br />
gvc.Width = 80;<br />
gvc.DisplayMemberBinding = bind;<br />
gvch.Content = "NR Date";<br />
gvc.Header = gvch;<br />
myGridView.Columns.Add(gvc);<br />
<br />
SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString);<br />
SqlCommand sqlComm = new SqlCommand("...", sqlConn);<br />
SqlDataReader sqlDR = sqlComm.ExecuteReader();<br />
RecordData rd = new RecordData();<br />
rd.ID = sqlDR.GetInt32(0);<br />
if (sqlDR.IsDBNull(1) == false)<br />
rd.DateNR = sqlDR.GetDateTime(1);<br />
_MyCollection.Add(rd);<br />

Hi all.
Can we use XNA physic engines in WPF (2D) ? Is it possible ?
Thanks.

I almost never write strongly worded posts, but I feel this one is warranted. So I'll go out on a limb and say:
VS2008's ability to reliably update service references in a Silverlight class library project is little more than a crap shoot. The feature is hopelessly broken and has all the appeal of a steaming pile of horse manure. It's a waste of my time to have to exit Visual Studio, reboot, pray or do all of the above in the hope that the reference will actually be imported correctly this time.
Microsoft, if you want developers to seriously consider using Silverlight, I urge you to release a hotfix that addesses this problem. It would be faster to rearchitect our enterprise application's front end in Flash than continue wasting valuable time trying (in vain) to get this to work.

Thanks for filing a bug on Connect!!
I was going to recommend you do that 
Also, this is a Visual Studio issue, not a Silverlight issue, so this was
the wrong board to post on 
Cheers,
Mark

OK, but it only affects adding a service reference to a Silverlight assembly.

FYI, I've managed to repro the badness and have tracked down what I believe is the offending situation. I'll update the bug report when I have cycles.

Can anyone tell me how to fill a TreeView with items from an Access database in WPF? I've already added my data source; Data >> Add New Data Source in Visual Studio 2008. So my dataset and table adapters are all set up already, just need to get the data into the TreeView. Here's an example of what my tree structure looks like:
>Parts
>Tables
>Top
>Leg
>Chairs
>Seat
>Leg
>Backrest
Table Top, Leg, etc are stored in a 'Parts' table, from which I want to read data.

How do I create a UserControl which can host other controls? For example, say I wanted to create a UserControl which showed an orange border but could have other controls hosted inside it so:
<my:OrangeBorderThing>
<TextBlock>hello</TextBlock>
</my:OrangeBorderThing>
would show the word "hello" surrounded by an orange border - currentlly I just get the word hello - I have spent a couple of hours reading the usual conflicting things google brings up, messed about with ControlTemplate and ContentPresenter etc but have gotten nowhere.

That's not the way it works. What you want is a Style that has your border settings in it, like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}" x:Key="MyBorder">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#E7E3ED" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="8,8,8,8" />
</Style>
and then do this in your UserControl:
<Border Margin="0,31,0,0" Width="222" Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Style="{DynamicResource UDPBorder}">
<TextBlock>Hello</TextBlock>
</Border>

The TextBlock with the content=Hello is just as an example - it could be a grid with lots of other controls inside it. Basicaly I want to write a control that can host other controls. Maybe I am not explaining myself very well - having spent a while on this, tapping random stuff into Google, any sense of what it is I wanted and how to express it has probably been lost.
I think a lot of the problem with this stuff is years ago if you wanted to know what a keyword did in a programming language and how to use it you would look it up in the manual. These days programming language keywords are of little consequence, it's all about the libraries but if you don't know what to look for where exactly do you look?

Dear John Simmons / outlaw programmer:
Would you please kind enough to look a problem which I posted? All necessary code is there to build the application.
Is this bug is in animation?
Best regards

A better question would be if you even need to make a UserControl. The built in Border control is capable of holding a control as is. If all you are trying to do is have a way to make orange borders, you should just define a style like John suggested and apply it to any borders you want to be orange.
<StackPanel>
<Border Style="{StaticResource OrangeBorderStyle}">
<TextBlock>Hello</TextBlock>
</Border>
<Border Style="{StaticResource OrangeBorderStyle}">
<Grid>
<!-- your controls here -->
</Grid>
</Border>
</StackPanel>

Would you please kind enough to look "Is this bug in animation?" my problem?
