NameItemTemplate sample

[SimpleSamples]

I found a NameItemTemplate sample that seems to work here too; see:
https://github.com/Microsoft/WPF-Samples/blob/master/Data%20Binding/MultiBinding/MainWindow.xaml

I added both the line for local:NameConverter and the block for the DataTemplate. I also added the NameConverter class to my project.

Is that an appropriate sample for here?

Thanks, @SimpleSamples, for your feedback; I apologize that it's taken us so long to respond to you. Yes, that is an appropriate sample for the documentation. If you'd like to open a PR, we'd be delighted to review it. The sample code goes in the dotnet/samples repo.

Thank you. I have a working project that I can copy from for the samples. I am not sure how to proceed. I assume you want to add the sample code to this article instead of referring to it. I think that most or all of the changes involve updating the resources sample code and adding the NameConverter class. The following is what I have for the resources.
<Window.Resources> <c:NameList x:Key="NameListData"/> <c:NameConverter x:Key="MyNameConverter"/> <DataTemplate x:Key="NameItemTemplate"> <TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource MyNameConverter}"> <Binding Path="FirstName"/> <Binding Path="LastName"/> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> </DataTemplate> </Window.Resources>

Do I update the article the same way I have updated articles or is there something special I should do to link it to here? I don't know how to update code or add code to the dotnet/samples repo. Perhaps that will be obvious when I update the article.

I believe I originally submitted a link to an article and that link got changed to a link to the code in GitHub. The link to GitHub helps but it would help if I could see how the sample code was referred to. I have searched for the article that had the NameItemTemplate sample and related code and I cannot find it.

As for my other questions, I have created Updating Microsoft's documentation in GitHub.

Hey , @SimpleSamples, can i get a link to that example?

Look at my initial post here. Click on the link. Then click to go one level up. I think that is the sample. If not then I will look later.
