Bind control to escaped property?

Question

I'm having issues binding one of my controls to an escaped property. The JSON data I'm pulling into my app has a value that uses the reserved C# keyword event . To get around this in my class i've escaped event using the @ sign.

public string @event { get; set; }

But when i go to bind that property to one of my controls it doesn't seem to work

<TextBlock> Text="{Binding @event}" />

How do I get this to work?

Answer 1

Event is a C# keyword, nothing to do with XAML so just do "{Binding event}". Property change notification can use either.
