bind FeatureLayer to other controls

Question

Hello, looking for some guidance,

I have a FeatureLayer and MapTips working fine. The MapTips are a 'mini' report of only a few attributes with a button to open a 'full' report.
I have been able to bind items (textblocks) from the mini into the full, but obviously they would have to exist in the mini first.
I would rather bind my full report directly to the FeatureLayer. Can this be done straight from the xaml, or would I have to, on the button click make an event to dump the results to something, then bind to that? I have set the DataContext of the full report to the FeatureLayer but no results come across.

Thanks in advance.

in XAML your button<Button Tag="{Binding [YourAttribute]}" ..../>

in Code Behide Button_ClickButton button = sender as Button;
string attribute = button.Tag.ToString();

Use Button.Tag you can bring anything to CodeBehide.

for those who are interested........private void btnOpenReport_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { QueryTask queryFL = new QueryTask("http://xyz/MapServer/29"); queryFL.ExecuteCompleted += new EventHandler(queryFL_ExecuteCompleted); queryFL.Failed += new EventHandler(queryFL_Failed); FeatureLayer tmpFL = MyMap.Layers["FLParcels"] as FeatureLayer; // ! ID, not x:Name ! TextBlock tmp = tmpFL.MapTip.FindName("MapTipTitle") as TextBlock; String strFolio = tmp.Text.ToString(); Query query = new Query(); query.OutFields.Add("*"); query.Where = "folio = " + strFolio; queryFL.ExecuteAsync(query); bool bVisible = slPanel.IsVisible; if (bVisible) slPanel.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed; else { slPanel.Visibility = Visibility.Visible; } } void queryFL_Failed(object sender, TaskFailedEventArgs e) { //throw new NotImplementedException(); MessageBox.Show("Query failed: " + e.Error); } void queryFL_ExecuteCompleted(object sender, QueryEventArgs e) { //throw new NotImplementedException(); FeatureSet FSresult = e.FeatureSet; // target in full report textBox1.Text = FSresult.Features[0].Attributes["street_nam"].ToString(); }

...some progress

from the button click on the MapTip I am executing a query to return all the attributes of that feature to then bind into a full report, as outlined above. For now the query where clause is hardcoded because I'm having trouble pulling any attribute (textbox) from my maptip into code behind.

kind of a rookie questions, but how can I access one of the maptip's attributes in code to then run the query.
I have tried:
string str = MapTipTitle.Text.ToString(); thinking that I could access it directly but no go.
