Bind to property of object

Question

I am currently developing a little musicplayer just for fun. I was wondering if I can bind to a class named Track and access its propertys in XAML.

public class Track { public string TitleName { get; set; } public BitmapImage Cover { get; set; } }

Code can explain better than I can so here's my pseudo code:

<Grid> <Image Source="{Binding BindingName="CurrentTrack" PropertyName="Cover"}"/> <TextBlock Text="{Binding BindingName="CurrentTrack" PropertyName="Title"}"/> </Grid>

Can I get something like this without using a Converter or sth like that ?

You can access a child property like this:

<TextBox Text="{Binding CurrentTrack.TitleName}"/>

You must have bound your View to your ViewModel

Is your View bound to your ViewModel? Is the DataContext set?

My DataContext is set. Is the line you posted the only thing I need ? All other bindings work fine but the ones on the childproperties wont
