wpf binding text

WPF C# VS2008 3.5 I have a few pages(page1.xaml ect.) and I would like to bind text from a textbox to a label on a different page in xaml. I tried using ElementName but the label does not show the text user enters in textbox. I know something is wrong in the Path, but I'm new to wpf so any help would be great. My xaml referenced the x:Name of the textbox, should I reference the page also? thanks in advance

I think it would be better to create a class that will hold the data and create a single object of that class and bind both pages to it.

How to add Silverlight 4 ContextMenu to DataGrid row using XAML?

Silverlight 4 has a new ContextMenu control in the latest toolkit.
I can't find any examples anywhere on how to reliably use this ContextMenu on a DataGrid row. Theres a tonne of context menus out there but I want to use the new version from the toolkit.
I'd like to be able to set context menus for rows as well as cells.
The only way I've found is to manually create the menu on right click and show it, but I'd like to do it in XAML.
Note: You need to currently use this workaround to avoid binding problems when using ContextMenu in XAML for a datagrid cell.

The developer of the Toolkit's ContextMenu wrote this article, specifically talking about using it with a DataGrid Delay's Blog

You can use this open source multi-level menu and context menu as alternative:
www.sl4popupmenu.codeplex.com
The demo on the main page shows how to do it in code. But you can also create the menu anywhere in your XAML like any other control and then associate it with the Datagrid using the RightClickElements property. The control will then handle everything else for you.

Dynamically changing a WPF ListView between one that contains a GridView with column headers and another view that doesn't

I'm not quite sure how to go about this so any advice would be much appreciated.
I have a ListView whose default implementation is using with column headers. At runtime in the program I would like to be able to click on a button at runtime to change the view so that the list view loses the GridViewColumn headers and implements a new style using one of my own data template.
Then I would also like the ability to click the button and change the ListView back to a grid view with column headers.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction of how to go about this?
Thanks

Since ListView.View is dependency property, you can bind it to something on your VM via converter.

Microsoft has a sample that demonstrate how to create a ListView control that displays data in multiple view modes, which include the GridView and other custom view modes.
Search for ListView with Multiple Views Sample in the WPF Documentation Sample page.
