[RESOLVED] xaml binding path with forward slash or space in field name

[trevorjeaton]

Hi all,

I have a table that contains fields with forward slashes and spaces in the names. when i do drag and drop databinding in a wpf window, any fields without special characters bind just fine, but the spaces and slashes don't display. I've tried enclosing the fields in single quotes '' and in square brackets [] and multiple combinations of the two without success - the minute i enclose in square brackets, all data vanishes from the form, not just the weird field names.

obviously a fix is to rename the field names to not contain those characters - however, this will have repercussions on the production environment that this wpf app will be replacing so if possible, escape sequences and/or syntax for xaml would be highly appreciated if anybody has encountered this before.

The field names in question are 'Province/State' and 'Zip/Postal Code' (without the single quotes of course)

They are bound to standard textboxes on a wpf window

thx
