Data Binding in Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 data binding provides a simple way for applications to display and interact with data.

Windows Phone 7 data binding provides a simple way for applications to display and interact with data. The way data is displayed is separated from the management of the data. As you learn in my previous article XML offers a widely adopted standard way of representing text and data in a format that can be processed without much human or machine intelligence. It is also an important medium in the world of Silverlight, especially when Web Services are involved; the information formatted in XML can be exchanged across platforms, languages, and applications, and can be used with a wide range of development tools and utilities.

You can use SQL data binding with Windows Phone 7, to bind the data with sql we need to use WCF service that retrieves data from the database using LINQ to SQL classes and displayed on windows phone application. A connection, or binding, between the UI and a data object allows data to flow between the two. When a binding is established and the data changes, the UI elements that are bound to the data can reflect changes automatically.

Thank You....
