It has been a good guide for me. thank you!

Hello Kim,

Unfortunately, the properties of NormalModeSettings are not bindable because the NormalModeSettings object is not a visual or FrameworkElement and as such does not expose a DataContext so it cannot be directly bound. If you bring in a resource to bind to, you can bind it though. For example, if you brought in a resource with an x:Key of “resource” that had a MaxRows property to control this, you could use the following:

<ig:NormalModeSettings MaxRows="{Binding Source={StaticResource resource}, Path=MaxRows}" />

It may be worth noting though, that the NormalModeSettings property can be bound since that is on the XamTileManager, which is a visual / FrameworkElement. So, if you stored a property containing a NormalModeSettings object, you could bind that instead.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

<ig:XamTileManager.NormalModeSettings>
<ig:NormalModeSettings MaxColumns="2" MaxRows="2" HorizontalTileAreaAlignment="Stretch" VerticalTileAreaAlignment="Stretch" TileLayoutOrder="Horizontal" AllowTileDragging="Swap" AllowTileSizing="No">
<ig:NormalModeSettings.TileConstraints>
<ig:TileConstraints PreferredHeight="1" PreferredWidth="1"/>
</ig:NormalModeSettings.TileConstraints>
</ig:NormalModeSettings>
</ig:XamTileManager.NormalModeSettings>

MaxColumns 2, MaxRows 2 = 4tiles

MaxColumns 3, MaxRows 3 = 9tiles

MaxColumns 4, MaxRows 4 = 16tiles

I think I've found a way, but it's not perfect. In my opinion, if can control MaxColumns and MaxRows with a Binding, it will work perfectly. Can I bind this?
