# How to: Create a Binding in Code
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to create and set a <xref:System.Windows.Data.Binding> in code.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
The <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement> class and the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkContentElement> class both expose a `SetBinding` method. If you are binding an element that inherits either of these classes, you can call the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.SetBinding%2A> method directly.
|
|
|
|
The following example creates a class named, `MyData`, which contains a property named `MyDataProperty`.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[CodeOnlyBinding#DataObject](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/CSharp/MyData.cs#dataobject)]
|
|
[!code-vb[CodeOnlyBinding#DataObject](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/VisualBasic/MyData.vb#dataobject)]
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to create a binding object to set the source of the binding. The example uses <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.SetBinding%2A> to bind the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.Text%2A> property of `myText`, which is a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> control, to `MyDataProperty`.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[CodeOnlyBinding#1](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/CSharp/binding.cs#1)]
|
|
[!code-vb[CodeOnlyBinding#1](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/VisualBasic/App.vb#1)]
|
|
|
|
For the complete code sample, see [Code-only Binding Sample](/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-3.5/ms771500(v=vs.90)).
|
|
|
|
Instead of calling <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.SetBinding%2A>, you can use the <xref:System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations.SetBinding%2A> static method of the <xref:System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations> class. The following example, calls <xref:System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations.SetBinding%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> instead of <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.SetBinding%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> to bind `myText` to `myDataProperty`.
