c# - XAML Binding data of an XML attribute and displaying its value -

i making simple rss reader windows phone reads xml file using xml serializer , displays list of items. have rss.css file , amongst others have item class (below fragment):

public class item {     [xmlelement("title")]     public string title { get; set; }      [xmlelement("link")]     public string link { get; set; } } 

and binding data in xaml files , displaying e.g. title field this:

<listview grid.row="1" itemssource="{binding rss.channel.items}">     <listview.itemtemplate>         <datatemplate>             <grid>                 <grid.columndefinitions>                    <columndefinition width="150" />                    <columndefinition width="*" />                 </grid.columndefinitions>                 <textblock text="{binding title}"/> 

etc., , it's working fine. now, let's in xml title has attribute, e.g. short="true". how bind , display attribute?

i tried create class under item class:

public class title {     [xmlattribute("short")]     public string short { get; set; }  } 

and bind attribute this:

<textblock text="{binding title.short}"/> 

but it's not working. can "reach" in xaml somehow or should change in .cs file?

ps. given example shorter alternative problem therefore not logical.

you're binding doesn't exist - title string in model. should change deserialization can give both title , attribute:

public class item {     [xmlelement("title")]     public title title { get; set; }      [xmlelement("link")]     public string link { get; set; } }  public class title {     [xmlattribute("short")]     public string short { get; set; }      [xmltext]     public string value { get; set; } } 

then current title binding changes title.value , title.short binding should work.
