Introduction
Data binding is a powerful technique that allows you to synchronize data between a UI element and a data source. In WinUI 3, data binding simplifies UI development by automating the process of updating the UI when the underlying data changes, and vice versa.
This documentation covers the core concepts of data binding in WinUI 3, including:
- Binding to simple data types
- Binding to collections
- Two-way data binding
- Using converters
Two-Way Data Binding
Two-way data binding enables you to modify the underlying data source directly from the UI, and the changes will automatically propagate back to the UI. This is particularly useful for scenarios where the UI provides a convenient way to edit data.
Converters
Converters allow you to transform data values before they are displayed in the UI or before they are written back to the data source. This provides flexibility and control over how data is presented.
