Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property UpdateSourceTrigger As UpdateSourceTrigger
public UpdateSourceTrigger UpdateSourceTrigger { get; set; }
<Binding UpdateSourceTrigger="updateSourceTriggerMemberName"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Data.UpdateSourceTrigger
A value that determines when the binding source is updated. The default is Default.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

The Binding has already been attached to a target element, and cannot be modified.

Remarks

Set this property to Explicit on two-way bindings to disable automatic updates to the binding source. This is useful when you want to perform validation on binding targets before any value changes are copied to the binding source. To update the binding source, use the FrameworkElement.GetBindingExpression method to retrieve a BindingExpression for the target property, and then call the UpdateSource method.
