How can I emphasize the value of the data binding from the DataTemplate?

If I want to display the underlined value in the TextBlock, I have to use the Run element. (If there is a better / easier way, I'd love to hear about it.)

<TextBlock>
  <Run TextDecorations="Underline" Text="MyText" />
</TextBlock>

Ideally, to implement this in a DataTemplate, it would look something like this:

<DataTemplate x:Key="underlineTemplate">
  <TextBlock>
    <Run TextDecorations="Underline" Text="{Binding Value}" />
  </TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>

This won't work because the Run Text property is not a DependencyProperty, so you cannot bind to it. Does anyone know how I can do this?

TextDecoration is an attached property, so it can be applied to TextBlock as well. You create some pretty cool effects by creating the TextDecorations templated property.

See MSDN article .



<TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline" Text="{Binding Value}" />

This works for me:



<TextBlock Text="MyText" TextDecorations="Underline" />
