This week I ran into a WPF data binding problem and spent about a day trying to figure out why it wasn’t working.  A day is a long time to spend on why a “Text” property is not binding to an object’s property which is of the type “String”.  Here’s some quick tips on identifying the source of the data binding problem.

In case some of my readers do not know, I am a College of the Ozarks alumnus and I currently work for HealthMEDX.  I graduated from the C of O Computer Sciences Program in 2001.  Over the past year, I’ve had some great opportunities to assist C of O students and faculty.  I was able judge senior projects in May.  In July, HealthMEDX invited C of O faculty to share in its success with MO Governor Jay Nixon and HMX C of O alumni in the form of an incentives announcement.  In October, I was able to guest lecture on n-Tier application development and I recently had the opportunity to speak at the ACM Meet & Greet.  I wanted this post to serve as a big thanks to HealthMEDX for the chance to help assist the C of O Computer Sciences Program.  I’d also like to thank C of O students and faculty for the invitations to do so.  I truly hope that my experiences and knowledge help the program.
