Telerik RadSlideView (WP7) with MVVM

Question

I'm currently trying to use Telerik's RadSlideView to display my images. I've followed the code in http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-phone/radslideview-gettingstarted.html and they work perfectly well, but on the other hand I'd like to bind to real objects (with a variety of properties) and not just string arrays.

My main reason for wanting to do this is to allow the RadSlideView to show more than just images. I'd like to have descriptions, and other stuff! (which all belong to a specific object) I know this question might be kinda obscure, but if you could give me any ideas, it'd help me a long way :) cheers.

Answer 1

In the page you linked there's a sample with "complex" databinding, look at the ItemTemplate property where there's the image with a description :

   <telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeExtraLarge}"/>
                <Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" Stretch="None" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,12,0,0"/>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.ItemTemplate>

Is it not what you want ?
