Misunderstanding about Binding

hi,

I'm trying to bind the Message property of a MessageBoxActivity to the text property of a custom activty.

in messageboxActivity:

public static DependencyProperty MessageProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("Message", typeof(string), typeof(MessageActivity));

private string message;

public string Message
{
get { return message; }
set { message = value; }
}

in custom activity:

public static DependencyProperty TextProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(string), typeof(Activity1));

private string _text;

public string Text
{
get { return _text; }
set { _text = value; }
}

but when I bind message to text, the messagebox is empty, whereas i've filled the Text property before compiling and when I use it in conditions or in a code activity, the Text property got the right value

Any idea in this really basic issu

Your properties are declared incorrectly. The .NET properties should be implemented in terms of the corresponding dependency property, like this:

public static DependencyProperty MessageProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("Message", typeof(string), typeof(MessageActivity));

public string Message
{
get { return (string)base.GetValue(MessageProperty); }
set { base.SetValue(MessageProperty, value); }
}

Likewise for the other one.

Duh, yeah, fixed it :) That happens for writing code directly into the post :)

ok that was the mistake!

thx a lot

ps: just don't forget to add the RETURN in the get for those who will take this code

Edit: Ok it's fixed ;)
