Hi All,

The following snippet is extracted from ABCProduct.xaml, for WPF Application.

<GroupBox Header="NewType" name="Typ1" Grid.Row="2" BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1">
<CheckBox Name="ProductCheckBox">Prod.CheckBox</CheckBox>
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox Header="SWG_ProductType" name=<b>"{BindingElementName=Typ1,Path =IsChecked}"></b> Grid.Row="3" ...>
......
......other Controls <!-<<viz., Radio Buttons etc., -->
......
</GroupBox>

"The Error is "BindingElementName" was not found. To verify missing assembly reference" etc.,

The work around for Binding the Group Box controls using "Binding Element Name for Check box and Path= IsChecked is giving error in XAML parser, could you suggest how could we implement the same.

ie., How can we disable or enable the Group Box <<SWG_ProductType>> entities based on Check box State.

Thanks in Advance...

With Regards,
Samanth

You have 2 mistakes:

You forgot to put a space between Binding and ElementName.
You used the Name property instead of the IsEnabled property.

You can change the definition of your GroupBox to something like the following:

XML

<GroupBox Header="SWG_ProductType" IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=Typ1, Path =IsChecked}" Grid.Row="3" ...>
