Manually instantiate a DataTemplate?
datatemplate, wpf, xaml
Solution
You can set the `ContentTemplate` of a `ContentControl` to a `DataTemplate`. Is that what you're looking for?
Problem
Is it possible to use a data template for a single item with no ListBox or other items control? I have a datatemplate that I want to instantiate in xaml, not in a list, just within a border, and set its datacontext. Something like (pseudo): ``` <Window DataContext="{StaticResource Contact}"> <!-- Here I want to show a ContactTemplate for a single Contact as it would appear in an ItemsControl (ListBox etc.) --> <src:ContactTemplate Source="{Binding}"/> </Window> ```
