Scanning for information – WPF Databinding examples need to improve?

Personally I have a pretty rapid fire kind of scanning action that allows me to try to find information that matches my requirement quickly. Sometimes I need to slow down when the topic is too deep, for example Databinding in WPF. The examples out on the web for Databinding WPF are not that great yet (IMO) and too many only touch the simplest kind of Databinding scenarios, focussing largely on how the data is structured and from a Models point of view (no pun intended). Models can get pretty deep and nested, yet for the most part the binding examples focus on the really trivial data scenarios where the depth is not considerable and furthermore often binding to static resources rather than data that came from the Database courtesy of an ORM or perhaps Astoria or even plain old ADO.NET. So enough complaining cause that wont change anything and like Roy said ‘what are you going to do about it ; time to get on with putting some examples together myself! Of course they will end up here when they are done.

    Couldn’t agree more Simon. My problem has been finding instruction and examples for complex databinding scenarios that can be applied within MVVM. Sure the simple stuff works great but I find myself reverting to “unbound” approaches in many scenarios or fighting to stay within the bounds of the pattern….which kind of defeats the purpose.
