[IronPython] Silverlight DataBinding Not Working

[Lukas Cenovsky]

I overlooked you are doing ElementBinding.

It seems it does not work in IronPython - the Slider (element you are 
binding to) probably does not fire PropertyChanged event. I would blame 
some magic with codebehind files :-)

In this case, the slider is updated when the text box changes its value:
<Slider x:Name="sliderFontSize" Margin="3" Minimum="1" Maximum="40" 
Value="8" />
<TextBox x:Name="textboxFontSize" Text="{Binding 
ElementName=sliderFontSize, Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay}"/>

In this case, the text box is updated when the slider changes its value:
<Slider x:Name="sliderFontSize" Margin="3" Minimum="1" Maximum="40" 
Value="{Binding ElementName=textboxFontSize, Path=Text, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBox x:Name="textboxFontSize" Text="5"/>

Finally this works but it not much usable:
<Slider x:Name="sliderFontSize" Margin="3" Minimum="1" Maximum="40" 
Value="{Binding ElementName=textboxFontSize, Path=Text, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBox x:Name="textboxFontSize" Text="{Binding 
ElementName=sliderFontSize, Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
