c# - difference when binding a Label and a TextBox (XAML) -

just found out surprised with.

xaml code:

  <label  content="{binding myparameter}"/>   <textbox text="{binding myparameter}" /> 

myparameter instance of class tostring() method overridden:

public override string tostring() {     console.writeline("displaying value: " + name);     return name; } 

when rendering: label invokes tostring() , displays name property. textbox not display anything

can explanation why?

content expected object, means tostring() called.

text expected string property. if text not bound string property, framework error handling kicks in , displays nothing.

the best practice bind directly values wish display, rather parent object. in case, bind name property, directly.
