Bind multiple existing maps to an observable collection in XAML?

RyanCoodey

So our in house toolkit originally just supported one map, and the following example worked great:

<sdl:ViewToolbar x:Name="ViewToolbar" Map="{Binding ElementName=Map1}" />

But now, instead of the ViewToolbar having just a Map property, it has a Maps property, which is an ObservableCollection<Map> (could be any collection type really).  So the control can now support working with multiple maps.  I can set this Maps collection in the code behind, and it works, but I would like to set it in the XAML similar to the above example.  I would like to do something like this:

<sdl:ViewToolbar x:Name="ViewToolbar">
    <sdl:ViewToolbar.Maps>
        <!-- How do I bind to multiple existing maps here? -->
    </sdl:ViewToolbar.Maps>
</sdl:ViewToolbar>

Is this possible?  Can I create a ObservableCollection resource or something and bind to that? Or do I have to do it in code?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Thanks a lot Jennifer!

That is great, and I see what they are doing there... but how do I add/bind an existing map into the collection in XAML?  I don't want to create a new map in the collection, but bind an existing one...

I probably could create a map container class with a map property inside it and then bind to that I suppose... but would be nice to just stick a reference to the map right in a map collection.

Thanks!
