Forum: IronRuby Databinding in WPF against IronRuby objects

All,

I posted this on StackOvervlow, but I thought I would notify this list 
of my
question, in case someone here understands what is going on...

Basically, I am finding that data binding to properties on IronRuby 
objects
works for some controls, but fails on others. I have an example of it 
here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3376349/why-does-some-wpf-binding-fail-against-ironruby-properties

Anyone have any idea why this happens?

I find IronRuby types hard-to-work-with sometimes when it comes to WPF 
data
binding. What I do as a workaround is creating the data entity classes 
in C#
and initialize them from IronRuby code.

To fix your sample WPF app, I used the CLR string instead of IronRuby's. 
So
instead of:

    def initialize
      @ImageLocation = "http://www.ironruby.net/@api/deki/site/logo.png"
    end

You need to do:

    def initialize
      @ImageLocation =
"http://www.ironruby.net/@api/deki/site/logo.png".to_clr_string
    end
