BindingBase Class

Defines the common characteristics of the Binding, PriorityBinding, and MultiBinding classes.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Data
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
[MarkupExtensionReturnTypeAttribute(typeof(Object))]
[LocalizabilityAttribute(LocalizationCategory.None, Modifiability = Modifiability.Unmodifiable, 
	Readability = Readability.Unreadable)]
public abstract class BindingBase : MarkupExtension

The BindingBase type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property BindingGroupName Gets or sets the name of the BindingGroup to which this binding belongs.
Public property FallbackValue Gets or sets the value to use when the binding is unable to return a value.
Public property StringFormat Gets or sets a string that specifies how to format the binding if it displays the bound value as a string.
Public property TargetNullValue Gets or sets the value that is used in the target when the value of the source is null.

  Name Description
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ProvideValue Returns an object that should be set on the property where this binding and extension are applied. (Overrides MarkupExtension.ProvideValue(IServiceProvider).)
Public method ShouldSerializeFallbackValue Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the effective value of the FallbackValue property on instances of this class.
Public method ShouldSerializeTargetNullValue Returns a value that indicates whether the TargetNullValue property should be serialized.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Because the BindingBase.ProvideValue method is sealed, a custom binding class that derives from BindingBase will not function correctly as a Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) markup extension.

Make BindingBase cloneable
It might be useful to be able to clone a BindingBase object, e.g. in order to apply the same binding to multiple objects, but with different source. $0http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1911532/binding-does-not-have-a-clone-method-whats-an-effective-way-to-copy-it$0
